Asked By:Funny697289 in Palm Bay, Florida

Hello! I am 5'6" and I am a little overweight at 178lbs. But I have always had a little nugget of fat resting in my armpits, even when I was like 100lbs in high school. Well when I had kids my breasts got bigger and so did these fat deposits. When I breastfed I could feel my armpits tingling which was weird to me. Does this look like a case of auxiliary tissue?
