General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thank for your query.
Noted your history of large lumps under armpits for years, it has an outward appearance of small golf balls of skin. I also get pain in breast from time to time, I have constant mucus or thick saliva in my throat. Should i be worried.

Certainly these are the problems to worry about.
I seem there are multiple problems:
1. The large pumps if painless and move with the skin can be sebaceous cysts and needs to be excised before any complications occur.
If these are lymph nodes or normal enlarged axillary tails, mammography and ultrasonography, FNAC and if needed excision biopsy are indicated.

2. Pain in the breasts may be due to fibroadenosis, costo-chondritis and so on. The above mentioned investigations and clinical examination by a General Surgeon will get the proper diagnosis and advise you further management.

3. Constant thick mucus or saliva in mouth are due to the following reasons:
tress and anxiety.
oral lesions.
Get an examination done by an ENT Surgeon to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
