Suggest Treatment For Lumps Under Both Armpits

Hi, I have been having lumps apearing in both my armpits. They come and go they are painfull. Its funny that my husband never had it before and suddenly he started having them. A few weeks later I started. Have been months now. They last for a few days.. sometimes 2 and 3 at the time. Getting frustated now as no medication is helping.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

After going through your description, I could understand that the tissues worrying are nothing but ectopic breast tissue under axillae that get cyclical changes under hormonal influence like normal breast tissue/glands!

they are, that time, congested and form some small cysts; return back to normal when period is over...

therefore, not to worry about this and see your clinician for some tests like USG/FNAC for confirmation.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
