Hello,
Multiple lumps in breast and itchy nipple in 11 year old is unlikely to be a cancer, however, it needs to be investigated. I suggest you to get ultrasound breast to assess the nature of the lumps. A fine needle aspiration cytology of these lumps may be required to examine the cells of the lumps microscopically.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
