Brief Answer:
Needs further tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about excessive breast tissue.

You might have accessory breast under arm pit which is normal for some women. It may not enlarge further but it is normal to have accessory breast under armpit.

Get further tests like mammogram to make sure you have no cancer in the breast tissue under armpit.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
