There is a dull pain in the armpit

If there is dull pain in the accessory breast under the armpit, and if it is accompanied by obvious lumps, redness, swelling, heat, pain, or worsening discomfort, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible to determine the cause.

Accessory breasts refer to extra breast tissue outside of normal breasts, which are often found in the armpits and are congenital developmental abnormalities. In most cases, accessory breasts do not cause symptoms, but during menstruation, pregnancy, or lactation, when the hormones in the body are strongly affected, pain or swelling may occur, similar to changes in the breasts. For accessory breasts that do not cause major discomfort, most people only need to observe them.

Dull pain may be caused by hormone fluctuations in the accessory breast tissue, similar to breast tenderness before menstruation, or may be related to local friction and compression. However, if there are signs of inflammation, or if you feel irregular lumps or nodules, you need to pay close attention, because in very rare cases, the accessory breast may also have lesions, such as mastitis or even breast cancer. In addition, for people with a history of recurrent pain, it is recommended to pay attention to the frequency and characteristics of the pain in order to better assess the risk.

Usually, you should avoid wearing underwear that is too tight or too hard, especially to prevent the armpits from being compressed and increasing friction. Mild discomfort can be relieved by hot compresses. If the pain is more obvious, you can try local massage and analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the breast department for medical treatment in time and choose B-ultrasound and other imaging examinations to clarify the situation. If it is determined that the accessory breast does not affect health but affects life, surgical removal can be chosen.
