Yes. Little bumps. If they are large or look abnormal or they hurt you need to see a doctor.

You can always have a doctor check you out when you have your yearly exams and stuff like that.  When I go for my checkup, my doctor's check my breasts, and I've already had an ultrasound and mammogram (I was 18 when I got both), and the lumps are normal before your menstrual cycle starts.  I have something called fibrocystic disease, which is basically a fancy way of saying I have "lumpy breasts".  It's normal for women who've never had kids, haven't went through menopause, or young women in adolescence and early adulthood.  It's normal to feel tenderness and some soreness every now and then, but remember to do self breast exams on yourself after your period ends.  As always, you can get checked out, to make sure everything's okay.  Hope this helps!!!

You'll need to be more specific about what the bumps look like and where they are.  One very common skin problem is keratosis pilaris (KP), which causes red patches of bumpy skin.  I have it on my arms and thighs, which are common places to have it.  KP affects over 50% of people and is harmless, although it doesn't look very nice.  Often it shows up in children and some people do outgrow it, but many do not and there's no known cure for it.  If that's what your baby has, then it's completely harmless.  A doctor should be able to tell you if that's what it is.

Yes.  While that is a sign of pregnancy, it is not necessarily always present.  "You may be one of the women who have only slight symptoms or no symptoms of breast changes in pregnancy. Don't panic. It has nothing to do with your ability to have a successful pregnancy or breastfeeding relationship."

you can but it's probaly unlikely\nLumps can be caused by extra tissue if your rbeasts aren't done developing. If you have the same size lump in each breast that's probably waht it is \ntbhey can also be benign cysts\nyou also get lumps before and during your period..\nif you are nervous talk to a gyno or your parentrs

At your age a cancerous cyst i.e. breast cancer is extremely rare. I had a lump at your age and it was a benign cyst which is hormonal. Go to your doctor and don't be scared. 99% lumps are just cysts. I get alot of them just like my mum does. I am so pleased I went to my doctor because I get alot of them, but get every one checked... just to be sure.

Breast sizes vary due to the amt of fat.  This fat amt is due to genetics, weight gain and loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding and of course IMPLANTS.\n\nNipples are the erect part of the areola and it is the areola that changes color, not just the nipple. Areolar color varies due to the inherited pigmentation of the person and the amount of exposure to the sun.  But women will also notice the areola changing color due to pregnancy. It is one of the first signs of pregnancy.  The melanocytes in the skin of the areaola start producing and dispercing melanin in the skin of that area, and maybe even beyond the areola, to the skin around it.  Some say it is so that by the time the baby is born and placed on the belly, the darker color of the areala gives them a visual cue of where the breasts and nipples are.  Some babies go right for the darker color areaolas right after birth, esp since contrasting dark-light are their favorite colors in the early weeks of life after birth.\n\nAs the pregnancy hormones decrease in the womans blood after pregnancy, the melanocytes stop their production of melanin and the "tan" of the areaola rubs off as the deeper layers of cell with all the pigment are pushed to the surface and die-slough off.\n\nEven if a woman has an abortion or a miscarriage early on, if she is of a very fair complexion, and had the very rosy arealar color prior to pregnancy , then her areolar coloration will never be quite as rosy pink again.   Thus it can be sometimes said that the fairer a woman complexion, the more dramatic and permanant the areolar changes can be .\n\nThe same pigment changes can occur on the linea nigra, the nine of pigment from the pubic hair up to the belly button.  Some women also notice that pigment darkens on the face too, called chloasma, the "mask of pregnancy."  So yes, pregnancy hormones (increases in estrogen,progesterone and HCG) are associated with more than just areolar color change.

Once i got that too it can happen if you wear a bra that is irritating or the boobs can't breathe. Use hydrocortisone cream for a week it will go away. Stay away from bras that that push em together. lol

I work as a mammographer, and I see lots of different breasts every day!  They come in all shapes and sizes, and lots of women aren't symmetrical.\n\nThe only time to worry about different shaped nipples is if one suddenly becomes inverted.  This can be a sign of breast cancer and needs to be checked out by a GP.  Having said that, though, some women can be born with an inverted nipple and it never causes them any trouble.\n\nI'd say you're perfectly normal!

A good plastic surgeon that specializes in nipple/areola correction should be able to help.\n\nSpeak frankly with your primary physician and get a referral to one.\n\nP.S. You know guys, this is a serious question and she already said the condition is embarrassing. She probably has had enough rude adolescent comments on them. If you are not going to give a serious thoughtful answer, don't post!

I think you are describing Montgomery glands, perfectly normal part of your breast anatomy. They secrete a waxy substance that helps keep your nipple supple.\n\nhttp://www.susanlovemd.com/faq/nipple/nipple-rash.html\n\nhttp://imaginis.com/breasthealth/breast_anatomy.asp\n\nYou can't get rid of them, they help keep your nipples healthy, so learn to love them!

You can get it young, but it doesn't sound like a typical breast cancer lump.  My experience was a small hard lump that did not hurt nor was red.  Go to the doctor to be sure.

Well, there is little I can do without being able to examine your girlfriend in person.  Breast development in a "normal" female is usually around age 11...so that means she was either quite a bit early or may have undergone precocious puberty.  Her breasts (depending on age) should have stopped growing at some point.  If they began to grow suddenly she might be pregnant.  As far as her areolar pain you will have to wait for the doctor to exam her.  Usually breast tenderness is a common side effect of a woman's cycle or again it could be puberty (depending on age).  If she has been giving herself regular breast self exams and recieved regular mammograms she should have nothing to worry about.  Of course with pain in the breast we might think cancer, but has she had any discharge (bloody,milky)?  Is the areola tender or does she feel a lump?  Is the nipple inverted (pushed in)?  All these questions will be asked by her doctor at the upcoming exam, but don't worry.  Most times in a young female we don't think cancer...usually we are thinking cyst which can be easily drained.

Watch it and if it grows to a bump you know what it is, a zit.  And yes, you can get them on your breast as it has pores that have oils in it and it can get them just as the rest of your body.

This is totally normal if it is before your period (a lot of women have PMS swelling), or if your breasts are currently growing.  Sore breasts may also be a sign of pregnancy, so keep that in mind if it's a possibility.  Breast cancer, in the early statges, does not hurt at all.  The early sign of breast cancer is finding a lump (which would be HIGHLY unusual at your age).
