We have all heard of the term accessory breast. It refers to extra breasts besides normal breasts, mostly in front of the armpits or under the armpits, of course there are other locations.

Accessory breast is often an underdeveloped tissue, most of which look like a baby's breast, or only have a darker skin pigmentation and a little skin hyperplasia in the center, similar to a small nipple. Some have only mammary glands, some have only nipples, but there are also cases where the complete breast (nipple, areola, glands) can be seen in the armpit and are relatively large. The accessory breasts also become swollen and painful before menstruation, and increase significantly during pregnancy. The nipples may even secrete milk during breastfeeding.

In addition, the accessory breast will become swollen and painful during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or lactation, and a small amount of milk will be secreted during lactation. Among them, a few accessory breasts on the chest have secret passages connected to the normal breasts, which can discharge the secreted milk into the normal breasts; while the accessory breasts that are not connected to the normal breasts or have no nipples cannot be emptied and the secreted milk accumulates, which can easily cause swelling, inflammation and even suppuration.

In addition, the diseases that normal breasts may face, such as mastitis, lobular hyperplasia, breast fibroids, breast cancer, etc., can also befall accessory breasts, and the possibility of being harmed is higher than that of normal breasts.

In fact, accessory breasts generally have no effect on the human body, but they may cause inconvenience to the psychology and life. According to surveys, approximately 0.1 percent of women may develop breast cancer.
