Is A Sore Lump Just Above The Nipple Indicative Of Breast Cancer?

Hi my 14 year old daughter just showed me a red lump that showed up on her left breast it s red in color and kind of sore. It s on the Areola just above her nipple. She is prole to get boils but they are usually in her armpit. Could this be a boil or do I need to worry about possible breast cancer ?
