Its called Tail of Axilla... Its just a fat tissue in armpit usually present in both armpit..
Its not disease.. Its not cancer.. It can not turn into any disease..
No treatment required unless you want to do it for cosmetic reasons or its painful while movements..
It can be reduced only by surgery..no other medicines will reduce it
Next Steps
Consult Surgeon for physical examination.
