Hi ,
Ultrasound has detected fat in the bulge of the armpit …
Get a mammography done to come to a conclusion
And if the findings are same and it’s bothering you while wearing cloths .
You can consult a plastic surgeon to get it removed either by liposuction or a surgical intervention by giving very small incisions hidden under the armpit
