Cancer rare in young: All breast lumps should be looked at by your pcp or breast surgeon. They will get an ultrasound or mammogram. If they cannot make a diagnosis then they may do a needle biopsy. At your age the concern is less likely to be about cancer.

Have it checked: Men can have breast tissue develop, breast lumps, and even breast cancer. Most likely it is gynecomastia - male breast tissue - given your age. Your doctor can evaluate this and direct you in the proper treatment.

Not yet : You are young, and most things that hurt are more likely to be infections, or cysts -- not cancer you could have a skin cyst there that is infected or gland that is plugged up. See and MD who can evaluate and reassure you.
