What is Axillary Breast?
Axillary breast is a medical condition that is seen in a small percentage of women and men. It is often confused with armpit fat, which is something that is seen in obese individuals.
The average human body has breast tissues that extend to the centre of the underarm (midaxillary line). One can also find the axillary tail of Spence extending to the underarm. Sometimes there is a growth of lymph nodes, fat tissues, or breast glandular issues in the underarm (axilla). This condition is called the axillary breast. Unlike armpit fat, it causes pain and discomfort. It can appear under one arm or both and there are reported cases where it can turn cancerous.
To find out whether you are suffering from axillary breast or armpit fat, visit BM Cosmetic, a 10-year-old NABH-accredited aesthetic centre.
