Dr. Keith Ramsey answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Adolescent Medicine

Thelarche: The onset of puberty in a girl is usually accompanied by tender swelling under the nipple or nipples. You can usually assume this is the case unless there is hot skin or redness extending onto the skin around the nipples. If so, then have it checked.
