Breast tissue in underarm

[sexylaty]

I have a lump on my underarm.  It is not painful but it is ugly and it makes me very self conscious.  When I got pregnant it really got big and filled with milk my doctor said it was breaast tissue that traveled into my armpit and that as long as it didn't hurt it really wasn't anything to worry about.  It just looks like extra baggy skin and as a result I can't wear sleeveless tops.  I've never known anyone else who has this to ask what they think or feel.  My husband thinks if it bothers me so much I shyould have it removed.  I am scared and want to know what the health risks are.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Shat should I do about it?

Hello chiquita830,
I am in the Michigan area and I had the procedure done by a plastic surgeon in Farmington Hills, Michigan (Dr. M. Hardaway) just this past November. Thus far, I am very pleased with my recovery and progress.I am still in the process of healing but the look is awesome (minus the scars that are healing up nicely) and I feel so much more confident about myself. I'm looking to finally going sleeveless in the summer!

My wife and I are very worried about a surgery and esthetic effects. our regular doctor said that is the only way to eliminate that problem.

I am so glad I found this page! I have had these lumps for a few years now. My general physician did not know what thEy were. He put me on anti biotic sat first and finally referred me to a surgeon to have it looked at. I was so irritated because after years of not knowing what it was, he looked at me for less than 5 min and was ready to send me on my way! He told me it was extra breast tissue, very common and it would get bigger if I had more kids. The part that really bothered me is that I told him they hurt me, and he said No, they should not hurt. He said only when there's my time of the month. And I tried to explain to him that it was way more than just 1 week out of the month. But he just blew me off! I was glad to read that the pain, was a normal thing for others too, not just me.

Have recently (4 weeks ago) had an excision of right axillary lump and excision of skin.  I feel my wound has been healing quite well.  However the breast hurts a bit and do occasionally get a little pain from the armpit.  My question is that there has been a hard lump near the top of wound is that normal and will it go in time or should I go back to my doctor?
