Breast Cancer Concerns: Inverted Nipple & Armpit Lump - Seeking Advice

Question
Hi, I'm 16/female and I'm worried that I might have breast cancer. A few months ago I developed an inverted left nipple. This was about the same time I developed an inward lump in my right armpit. I didn't think anythnig of it, until the lump grew to where it is now, and now it's protruding and it hurts to touch and to extend my right arm. Could this be breast cancer? A better question might be, what do you think it is? I'm extremely worried and any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
At your age breast cancer is really rare. The fact that your lesion is painful too makes it more probable that this is an infection/inflammation than a cancer. But it should be checked by a doctor soonest! Good luck!
