Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
Subcentimetric lymph nodes are nothing to be worried of. They will not cause any problem in your life in future. The lymph nodes usually get enlarged due to any infection/disease. In your case, they would have been enlarged because of the infection i.e. breast abscess. Once it has been treated now they are decreasing in size and have become smaller in size. In axilla, lymph nodes upto 2 cms can be considered normal. yours are less than 1 cm so there's nothing to worry at all.
Hope it sorts your problem.
Regards,
Dr. Pankaj Nagori
