Breast cancer?

I am a fourteen year old male and I feel a lump on my left teat. Do I have breast cancer?

1. it is very possible for a guy to have "breast" cancer. My mom is a nurse, so she said that a guy needs to do a "pectoral" exam very often. In other word, feel your pecks for lumps. You need to know that breast cancer in men is a problem and you need to go to the doctor immediately.
2. sure, whatever man. seriously, go to a doctor.
3. It's possible for guys to get breast cancer. You'll have to get an x ray to find out if it's cancerous though.
4. I can't say if you do or not but with your age, it's doubtful. How big is the lump? It could be a pimple, infection, impacted hair, cyst, clogged duct, etc. If it's bigger than a pimple would be, definitely get it checked out at the doctor, it could be a cyst. Don't overworry about it, watch it, if it grows and even if it doesn't when you see the doctor again if it's still there, mention it.
5. who told guys cant have breat cancer..u seriously need to go to a doctor..i hav a similar experience..even i had a lump..then i went to a doctor n now i am fine..umm almost fine
6. It's a knot or a muscle spasm. You don't have cancer, unless you live in the middle of a nuclear waste dump. Are there an unusual amount of twins born in your neighborhood? A lot of cancer cases? If yes, then see a doctor. If no, take a hot shower and massage the area, it will go away. If it doesn't, go ahead, see a doctor. But, I'm telling you, it's not serious.
