Armpit Fat
I am 28 yrs female. I have armpit fat under my left arm. It is since around 6 yrs. Initially it was small and now have increased in size I didn't pay much attention to it earlier but now I am really worried as it feels awkward and quite visible. Is this a sign of breast cancer? Could you please help me with the causes and treatment for the same.
