Usually Breast cancer is internal and is found as a lump or tumor. However there are other types of breastcancer that appear on the outside of the breast, like inflammatory BC. Also if the skin on the breast looks like an orange peel or little bumps, it should be checked.

How do you give yourself a breast checkup?
you need to stand in front of a mirror and look at your breasts. you feel for any unusual changes or bumps, and look for an unusual difference in the breast. it could get confusing if you are still growing breasts, and young women are usually not affected by breast cancer anyway. for more info, take a look at http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/articles/1920.
A mammogram is the best way for men to detect testicular cancer?
That is not correct. A mammogram is an x-ray of the mammaries (breasts) and is used to detect abnormal growths in the breast that may be a sign of Breast cancer. Checking for cancer of the testicles is done by physical inspection with your fingers for lumps, bumps and changes in the size, shape or consistency of the testicles. If anything not normal is noticed, you should see a urologist or your family doctor.
Does it mean cancer if you have a lump under your arm and on your breast?
Lumps and Breast CancerIn answer to this question, no, it doesn't necessarily mean a teenager has breast cancer if she/he has a lump in each breast! You don't have to have a lump to have breast cancer. If there is a lump, it could be a cyst and for teens all breast examinations, feeling for changes and LOOKING for changes should be done after menstruation. If the lump remains after menstruation she/he should be seen by a doctor. There are many people who have fibrocystic breasts. To make sure this is a cyst, the doctor can perform a needle biopsy which is non-invasive.

Are you breasts developing if you have two very small bumps underneath my sister says these are breast buds?
Your sister is correct. Whether you are a boy or a girl you will develope these "bumps" at the onset of puberty, but the hormonal differences between male and female will cause breasts to develope in the female only. In the case of the male, the bumps will disappear after a time (don't worry, the boys have their problems too!). The bumps might be very sensitive and sore to touch...this is normal.

Is it normal for the breast to feel mildly bumpy and symmetrical when you do a self breast exam?
Yes it can be normal and I have what they call "cluster lumps" in both of my breasts which are also common in women. However when I discovered these little bumps (cysts) I went to my doctor to let him do a more thorough exam and then I go for my mammogram every year just to be sure everything is A-OK.
