Rare: Breast cancers are extremely rare in teens but would present like in other age groups: a lump in the breast, bloody nipple discharge, skin redness, skin dimpling, skin looking like an orange peel, or a lump in the arm pit.

Lump, discharge: Breast cancer is rare in teenagers, but it can happen.Watch for any lump that doesn't go away and doesn't change with your periods.. A hard lump is more suspicious for cancer, but the only way to know for sure if to have your doctor or health provider check the lump. Blood or pus coming from your nipple is another sign. 15% of breast cancer occurs in women ages 15 to 39.
