I had atiny growth under my arms, may be an extension of breast glands. At aboyt 18 years they were of the size of a grape, now at age 52 they are as large as a lemon and bothersome. They do not hurt but I can not wear sleeveless dresses, the bra strap pinches and it uncomfortable.
What is this condition? Who shoud I see? Is it quick and safe to remove them? Can some one help?

You need to see a gynocologist about this. Have you had a mamo recently?

Don't mess around with it, get yourself to the doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry. There maybe nothing to it or it maybe a cyst or something more dramatic. It that is the case than the sooner they take care of it, is better.

I'm not sure if this is what you have but a person can be born with accessory breasts anywhere along the so-called 'mammary lines' that extend along either side of the chest and abdomen (think about where other mammals - like cats and dogs - have nipples / breasts and you could have them there too). They may be rudimentary and non-functional - or they can be well developed and functional. Just like 'regular' breasts, these accessory breasts can enlarge with puberty and pregnancy and have the potential to develop breast diseases INCLUDING CANCER!! You need to see a doctor without delay and have your breasts - and those areas of concern - evaluated.
