breast tissue.. armpit lumps??

Did anyone get breast tissue in their armpits during pregnancy? I asked my doctor about this and she said its more common after birth but it happens. It feels like bruising and its painful to put deoderant on. My dr said sometimes people get it removed but it usually goes away... i dont want my armpit cut into..

Try spray-on deodorant, that may help.

Don't cut it out. If you are planning on breastfeeding, it can damage your supply on that side. When your milk comes in it may become engorged,  but not stimulating it and using a cold pack will cause it to go down.

Breast tissue does extend to the armpit.
If deodorant is painful either don't use it or you just dust a little baking soda in your armpit
