Pain near Breast armpit
Hi dr I am very anxious and scared. I have pain near my side breast below armpit from 2 days. I was scared for cancer.i visited gynac and she told me there is nothing.upon thinking I realised I had purchased a new bra last week and have been wearing it daily and it's tight. Could that be causing the soreness. It's not even pain it only hurts when I press my finger against it or else nothing you can say tenderness . Can you tell me if this is soreness or pain .pls reply dr. When I take warm water bath the tenderness go away for sometime and only hurt again when I touch it with my finger

It sounds like the soreness is likely due to the tight bra. Tight clothing can cause tenderness or irritation, especially when pressed. The fact that it improves with warm water and doesnât hurt unless touched suggests itâs not a serious issue. Try wearing a looser bra, and if it doesnât improve or feels worse, check in with your doctor again.
