About 3 weeks ago a large red spot showed up on my left breast. It went away but there is now a small piece of hard skin in that area. It doesn't hurt, but I don't know what it is. I know i'm only 16 so i shouldn't be worried but breast cancer runs in my family.

Its probably where the spot has healed up. Like when you have a big scab, once the scab has gone, there is thick skin there. As you said,it is unlikely you have cancer. Maybe talk to someone in your family about it. And, I know its a hassle, but go to your doctor, after all, that is what they're for!

The chances are that this is just tissue and it is nothing to worry about, but to put your mind at rest, try and talk to your mum and if that's hard, maybe a female doctor if that makes things easier for you to talk. Im sure you will be fine. XX

Occasionally, breast cancer presents as metastatic disease, that is, cancer that has spread beyond the original organ. Metastatic breast cancer will cause symptoms that depend on the location of metastasis. More common sites of metastasis include bone, liver, lung and brain. Unexplained weight loss can occasionally herald an occult breast cancer, as can symptoms of fevers or chills. Bone or joint pains can sometimes be manifestations of metastatic breast cancer, as can jaundice or neurological symptoms. These symptoms are “non-specific,†meaning they can also be manifestations of many other illnesses. Most symptoms of breast disorder do not turn out to represent underlying breast cancer. Benign breast diseases such as mastitis and fibroadenoma of the breast are more common causes of breast disorder symptoms. The appearance of a new symptom should be taken seriously by both patients and their doctors, because of the possibility of an underlying breast cancer at almost any age
