While it is possible to get breast cancer at age 13, it's not common. Also, breast cancer does not typically manifest in a form that looks like another nipple. Without seeing it, what you have sounds more like a cyst than cancer, which of course is far less grave.

You should have this looked at by your family doctor, who can make a more informed decision about treatment, even if it isn't cancer. Note that while I'm pretty sure I'm right, getting anonymous advice from well-meaning laymen is no substitute for getting better info from a medical professional.

What is a proper sanitary maintenance area in a salon?

A proper Sanitary maintenance area is where your tools and implements that touch the client will be placed. It maintains the sanitation by being kept clean and free of hair and anything that has not been disinfected.. It should be kept well organized at all times, this shows that you care about your clients health and safety and are aware of the spread of germs and infection at every second you are servicing that client. It can be a clean cotton towel with a clean paper towel laying on top, or a sanitized metal tray ( like your doctors or dentist) . It should be where ever you are servicing your client, and within your reach! Each client needs a new SMA ( paper towel laying on cotton towel ) the base towel should be changed only if soiled, and tray should be cleaned with alcohol with 70% or higher, cleaning in circular motion from center out. :) as a Cosmetologist I take as much pride in my sanitation as I do my skills and appearance! SMA prevents the spread of germs and infections in the Salon. They should be taken as seriously as the sanitation of your implements ! -Desiree Davidson Huntington Beach, ca.
