I have a 9 year old girl who has a small knot that just came up on her breast?

Question

I remember when I was about her age that happened to me the doctor said then it was nothing I'm thinking it may be the samething with her she said it feels sore I think it is her breast starting to deveolp.

Answer 1

that is totally normal. if u take her 2 the doc. they will most likely say the same thing

Answer 2

it oprobably is just starting to develop but I would get her checked. It is possible it may be mastisitis

Answer 3

I would keep an eye on it for the next two weeks and see if there is any change. It could be a cyclic cyst and may disappear accordingly. If there is no change or it grows, I would see the doctor to be certain the growth is normal and healthy.

Answer 4

if she is heading towards puberty, it could be a benign cyst.  ask the gyn to examine her to be sure.

Answer 5

Yes take her to the doctors, the sooner you teach her to take care of herself the better. Mammograms are important, this is a learning experience I pray there is nothing wrong.

Answer 6

She's the right age for it.  Is it right under the areola?  I remember that when I started developing I was lopesided for a while. :(

God Bless.
