What Causes A Small Lump Under The Skin Near The Left Chest?

I m a 14 yr old boy and recently found a small, rounded, smooth, tough/rubbery lump that only moves when I push around the skin. the lump is attached to the skin of my breast and is visible in certain lighting. It is not around the nipple but up in my left chest. Please help as soon as possible. Is it breast cancer? :(

Hi
Welcome to hcm
This can be unilateral breast enlargement/gynacomastia. Breast cancer is least likely possible in male at this age. If there is no pain and size is not increasing you can wait and observe. Or else this can be removed surgically.
