(I am 24 yo, great health and quite active.) Ever since puberty I've had a lump in my right armpit, it's always been painful to the touch and quite bothersome. I had my right axillary breast tissue examined and it was confirmed to be breast tissue. It gets bigger/smaller depending on weight gain and hormonal factors. It is very painful, big and hard during pregnancy & delivery. I really would love to get it removed! I also have fatty pockets on both armpits which aren't bothersome, just ugly.
