Full Sized Breast in Armpit

[Kandy44]

Doctor, I have followed with interest many comments on the issue of Accessory Breast in the Armpit for more than a year. I have never seen a picture or heard of anyone that has the size of what is under my right armpit. It took a lot of courage to finally write this. It is not a "tissue" - it is a full breast with no nipple protruding. More than a handful if you tried to clasp. It has grown over a 10 - 11 years period. Size kept increasing after my two kids. I was scared and still am scared what I will be told if I saw a doctor. It does not hurt at all. Occasionally  (once every two/three months) I feel some sharp pain but in the right breast not in the accessory. Recently, in the last 6 months, I also noticed a lump in the left armpit too - almost the size of a tennis ball. Neither of them hurt. I do not consider these a "cosmetic issue", I have only chosen to live with them silently out of fear that removing them might lead to complications or my pictures may be splattered over medical journals....but now I am also worried should they become malignant. I am about 5ft 8' and 200lbs. Overweight but not fat. About 3 doctors who took a cursory look in the past claimed it was ancillary breast tissue and the little bumps I feel inside were nipples. But each time I touch both they feel lumpy. What do I do? Sorry for long post...can no longer be silent. Thanks.
