Accessory breasts refer to extra breasts that appear in addition to a normal pair of breasts. They are usually located in front of or under the armpits, but can also occur above and below the normal breasts on the chest, in the abdomen, and in the groin. Accessory breast is a congenital abnormal development of tissue. In addition to affecting the appearance, it also has the chance of developing breast malignant tumors. Therefore, surgical removal is recommended. The accessory breast removal surgery includes the removal of the accessory breast gland, excess fat tissue and skin, followed by the application of pressure bandage. Accessory breast is a congenital malformation of breast tissue. It is generally asymptomatic and does not require treatment. Drug treatment is ineffective. If it becomes larger or often causes pain and discomfort, surgical removal may be considered. In daily life, be careful not to wear tight underwear, avoid squeezing and friction, do not use estrogen-containing drugs and cosmetics, do not eat spicy food, and avoid smoking and drinking.

During lactation, some accessory breasts can still produce milk, which can be very painful. The best way is to remove it surgically. Only surgery can remove it. However, it is recommended to wait for a while until the weather is cooler before cutting. It is too hot now and the incision may easily get infected. There is more fat in the armpits, which can easily liquefy and affect the incision.

The lumps that appear in the armpits after childbirth may be accessory breasts, milk accumulation, or enlarged lymph nodes due to breast inflammation.

Be careful not to squeeze too hard and keep your breasts unobstructed. This will be relieved after the breastfeeding period ends.
