hi dear thanks for query on HCM
THESE LUMPS could be accessory brest tissue or just fatty tissue in the region.
they become enlarged during nursing as in your case.
if in doubt you can get ultrasound and fnac of the lump for confirmed diagnosis.
dangerous lumps usually wont decrease in size by itself
thank you
