I would advise you to meet a surgeon for examination. To do an ultrasound examination for assessing the lump. And then plan further based on the clinical exam and ultrasound results.

A small, firm lump in the breast that had been there for 2 months and is fixed definitely needs to be checked. Please schedule an appointment, get it examined and proceed with the recommended imaging which in your case will be an ultrasound. Most lumps at your age are not cancerous, But its better to be safe than sorry.
