Can A Dent On Nipple Cause Cancer?

About 3 months ago I noticed that one of my nipples began to flatten and 2 dents appeared (although they are not noticable once my nipple becomes hard), there hasn t been any other change since then. I m 17 and my aunt (father s side) has breast cancer. Should I go see a doctor? I m afraid they might not take it seriously because of my age.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.There won't be nothing much to expect in your age.
2.mostly the way you have explained - looks like inflammatory changes in the breast.
3.Take an appointment with your GP, and get examined there after you can get a ultrasound breast to evaluate the breast tissue if there is any internal involvement, ductal status, presence of any lump.
4.You have to see the doctor, don't be afraid everything going to be fine.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
