Find A Lump On The Breast, Should I Be Concerned ?

is 23 too young to find a lump on the breast/ I am 23. I found a knot on my left breast a couple of weeks ago. I cannot tell if it is a lump, cysts , or bone . Should I be concerned? There is no history of Breast cancer in my family.

It is good that you dont have a family history of carcinoma. Also I appreciate you on finding out the lump by yourself. So now your next step is to get it confirmed with your doctor either your Gynecologist or a General surgeon. You have mentioned of the possibilities and they are the same but needs confirmation with an examination and even investigations if necessary.
