HI.
Thanks for your query.
Thanks for proper history, Your problem looks to be the bigger axillary tail of the breast, an antomical variation since it is there since the age of 13.
I would suggest you the following:
Get ultrasonography and mammography done to get a confirmed diagnosis whether this is normal breast extension or fibroadenosis development.
This may not need any active treatment except for symptomatic treatment if need be .
