-I studied your query in-depth and I understood your concerns.
-Its a Normal -Breast Tissue -in Axilla-also known as -Axillary Tail of the Breast Tissue and is the normal extension of the Breast tissue.
-The prominence after the pregnancy is -due to the Spert in Hormonal activity after Pregnancy,which is a normal hormonal response.This starts from Puberty,increases after delivery-for lactation,and reduces after menopause-along with the normal recession of the other breast tissue-pectoral part.
-So dont worry -this axillary breast is NORMAL.
-Still if it worries you, Consult your family doctor or Surgeon which would re-assure you of the Normal Breast.
Hope this would help you recover fast out of the Breast Lump anxiety.
