A member asked:
I am 17, but have had a lump in my right breast since they started to develop. its firm, but hasn't changed in size or texture, so what can it be?

Always: Any new lumps, bumps, skin changes in the breast should be evaluated by your doctor. Great job doing your breast exam and finding it. Most breast masses are benign but it is very important to have it evaluated. At your age of 17 fibrocystic tissue or even a benign fibroadenoma are the most likely causes.
