All I can say is that normally a rash would not indicate breast cancer, and you are WAY WAY to young to be worrying about that. It’s bsaically unheard of until you reach at least your mid 20s, and even then quite rare.

maybe your breasts are growing? Maybe you should check a website about cancer and check the symptoms. If any match up i would go to your doctor and have them check it now so they can treat it before it spreads.

a rash around your breasts or around your nipples? small bumps around the nipple are totally normal :: sometimes the muscle under your breast tissue can feel firm: like a lump :: flax seed is known for preventing breast cancer & even shrinking tumors: but you should really see a doctor if you think something is wrong :: good luck!!
& don’t stress on life too much: that can cause health problems too!!

Go to a doctor and don’t worry yourself sick over the internet because no one here can properly diagnose that. It could be a symptom of something else.

Stop worrying about breast cancer.
The chances of breast cancer at 14 are as close to zero as makes just about no difference. The chances of it occurring in both breasts at once are even smaller.
And what you describe are not symptoms of breast cancer.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was classed as a ‘younger woman’; I was 50 years old.
Breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s (let alone young teens) and fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with it are under 30; only 5% are under 40 and most (80%) are over 50.
The way you describe your breasts is normal breast development
Stop doing breast self checks, if that’s what you’ve been doing. It will tell you nothing and worry you unnecessarily.
The American Cancer Society and other cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self-exams at no younger than 20, if then. Before that it’s pointless firstly because there are so many hormonal changes that there is no ‘normal’ - and self examination is about a woman knowing what’s normal for her and reporting any changes. And secondly because the chance of breast cancer is almost nil.
Talk to your mum about this; if you don’t feel comfortable doing that, talk to your school nurse who will be used to girls having worries like this and will be able to reassure you that you don’t have breast cancer.
Stop worrying; if a 14 year old had breast cancer her case would make headline news and be written up in medical journals the world over. It would cause an even greater stir if the cancer was in both breasts, which would almost certainly be a world first.
If the rash persists, see a doctor
