Lump in underarms
Hi Doctor,
My breasts are pretty normal but I can feel a very light lump in both my underarms. I am a little worried about this. Could you please advice me something or tell what could be the reason for this ?

Hi dear! Your age is not one of a predisposition to breast cancer unless you have a positive family history. If it is just soft flesh, you may just keep checking it for any change in character. For any doubt, you are most welcome to ask.
Good luck

Hi
At this age and Bilateral lump in the underarms should not be any problem.
But more history is required. Since how long have you noticed the lump ?
Is it increasing or decreasing in size?
Is there any relation of the size with the periods?
Are you married and having child?
Is there any history of breast /ovarian cancer in your family?

Need not worry. Possibility of accessory breast or excess axillary fat. It is not rare. Relax and do consult a surgeon for confirmation.
