Nowadays, many people have experienced lumps under their armpits. So what is the real reason for lumps under the armpits? Let’s take a look. Experts say that pimples under the armpits are more common in accessory breasts, some are accompanied by pain, and the symptoms change with the menstrual cycle. Generally speaking, accessory breast has the following symptoms:

1. Periodic pain and distension in the axillary area: Most patients experience increased pain upon touching the axilla, but the pain is not obvious at other times.

2. Local lumps vary in size: most are flat, soft to the touch, and have a stringy feel.

3. Most patients have small nipples and nipple discharge: Some patients have small nipples in the armpits or chest, with or without accessory breast development. If you don't pay attention, it is often mistaken for a mole. Accessory nipple discharge is seen in very few patients. Experts specially remind: Accessory breast is also affected by endocrine like normal breast, and can develop the same diseases as normal breast, such as accessory mastitis, lobular hyperplasia, milk cyst and benign and malignant tumors. Because the site of occurrence is hidden, it is often misdiagnosed and treated incorrectly clinically, so it should be taken seriously.

Accessory breasts often occur on the upper and outer parts of the normal breast, such as the armpit and anterior axilla, and rarely occur on the lower part of the normal breast, such as the abdominal wall, groin, and vulva. It is rare for it to occur on the face, cheeks, ears, neck, back, arms, and outer thighs, so it is also called ectopic breast.

What is the cause of the lump under the armpit? After the above introduction, you should now understand that accessory breast should be discovered and treated as early as possible.

If a woman has a lump under her armpit, then she should first look at these reasons. She should also remember to check at any time and seek timely treatment if she finds any abnormalities. She should also remember to check carefully, because the woman's armpit is close to the breast area. If the lump is caused by the breast area, then she should see if it hurts. If it doesn't hurt, then she must be careful that it is caused by cancer.
