Is Red To Purple Spot On Breast Sign Of Cancer?

Hello, I'm a bit concerned in regards to a dark red, kinda purplish spot on my breast. It's about an inch above the areola on the right breast. It's been there a while, as in a week or so, and the word "cancer" comes to mind. I'm not too awfully worried, and I'm only 16 years old and I heard from somewhere that that's too young to develop a tumor. It doesn't hurt nor does it have a definitive texture. It feels just like the rest of the skin around the area. What could this be and what should I do about it?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your symptoms are not match with breast cancer. Moreover tjere is negligible chance to develop cancer at age of 16. So don't worry about breast cancer. Just be relaxed. You may have some benign breast lesion or skin problem. Consult your doctor and go for examination. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
