Hello,

You have history of having fibroadenoma in the breast and now are having symptoms of discomfort on wearing clothes that are slightly tight. You are suggested to get clinically examined to detect if any new lump is formed that is causing hurt, thickening of the skin or swelling, armpit lumps that gradually become enlarged, does not reduce may require further investigation.

Your treating doctor may order a mammogram and biopsy to be done to confirm if it is benign. The fibroadenoma can be removed by excisional biopsy (lupectomy), cryoablation, etc. If obese you are suggested to lose weight, maintain healthy lifestyle, do regular walking, exercises and take home made food. Stay away from addictions if any.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
