Question 1

discov a pain in rt armpit, went to the doc & had an ultrasound & found out its a fatty tissue lymphnode itstill hurts can it turn into something bad?

Accepted Answer

Possible: All lumps and masses should be monitored and watched for change.  It is important to have a good relationship with your physician and if it continues or gets bigger, you should go back to your physician and have it looked at again.

Question 2

it's been over a month i've been in pain everyday under my armpit and right breast i had an ultrasound and only saw a fatty tissue lymphnode.help!

Accepted Answer

Probably: Musculoskeletal pain. The lymph node described sounds benign and unlikely to be a cause of your pain. Enlarged lymph nodes may indicate some infection nearby and, in some cases, reflect involvement by cancer. However, a lymph node with benign characteristics (such as a preserved fatty component) is usually just a normal finding.

Question 3

i have an armpit fat. it looks very bad. is it serious? i read it online that it an extra breast tissue. what should i do?

Removal will help: Yes some people are born with supr numary breast tissue , some times even several  small nipple like structures extenuating to pubic area called mammary line, this excessive tissue bulges out of axilla, some times gives pain, due to this and cosmetic reason could be removed , scar could be buried invisibly under axilla.

breastfeeding 3 month old. 30 lbs overweight. felt arm pit side and noticed very glandular tissue, almost like tiny fat lobules on side of armpit  into my armpit. doesn't feel like one lump but rather all kind of soft/lumpy there.is this fat tissue?

Accepted Answer

Breast tissue: Any new lumps, masses or skin changes in the breast should always be evaluated by your doctor. During breast feeding it is common for the breast tissue in the axilla (arm pit) to expand. This can be very normal. Have your doctor do an exam to confirm.

Question 5

will the surgeon remove armpit fat/excess breast tissue during breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

YES: That would be a part of the procedure, but make sure you discuss with your surgeon.

Question 6

is it normal to have soft fatty tissue in the arm pit?

Accepted Answer

MOST OF THE TIME: Yes but have to make sure it is not an enlarged lymph node.

Question 7

i noticed a bump on the outside of my upper left arm.  it's about the size of a quarter.  it's where fatty tissue is located on ones arm.?

Accepted Answer

Cyst or lipoma?: You didn't mention any pain so it's like likely to be an infectious process like cellulitis or abscess.  Cysts & glands can often swell up as the pore gets clogged then resolve on their own w/o getting infected or causing pain. Lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) fatty growth just under the skin. It rarely changes size. Best to go see your family doc for an exam & diagnosis.

Question 8

what is the area right below armpit with fat there ?

Accepted Answer

Chest: I think you are referring to part of the chest wall

Question 9

i'm 16 and a guy how do you lose armpit fat and chest fat ?

Accepted Answer

Lose weight: Unfortunately, there are not really any tricks or special exercises to lose fat in particular areas. You need to lose weight overall, then you'll see an improvement in these areas. Diet and exercise - it's more important to make small changes that you can live with long term than to lose a lot of weight (only to gain it back). Meeting with a dietician is often helpful. Best of luck!

Question 10

how do you loose that fat bulge between your armpit and chestwall?

Accepted Answer

Mesotherapy: Yes. This procedure is awesome. Dieting not so ideal.
