"Accessory Axillary Breast Tissue"

I have a lump under my right armpit! This lump is defined and only comes out just before and during my menstral period. It becomes firm and a bit irritable though not painful! After my period, I cannot feel it! What bothers me is that now my right armpit is bigger than the right! Its all fat , I guess because I have put on a bit of weight! I am 80kgs, 34years old and I do not have any children! I am not on any contaceptive!

Please help on the course of action to take! My braa size has changed to a 36D cup from a C cup!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The enlargement of this tissue in relation to your menstrual cycle implies that it is hormone responsive and probably represents axillary breast tissue.  It could potentially also be a lymph node.  I suggest you have this first evaluated by your primary physician or Ob-Gyn, who can then refer you to a plastic surgeon, if appropriate.
