A member asked:

Wife, 23, gave birth 4 days ago. now has semi-hard, large, painful lumps in both armpits. translucent white fluid is expelled from pores with pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Extra breast tissue: A small percentage of women develop breast tissue in their armpits. It does not become obvious for some women until they begin to lactate, at which point the tissue produces milk but cannot drain effectively. This area can be iced and compressed and hopefully the tissue will stop producing milk and will shrink, without affecting her milk supply for the baby. Try to avoid stimulating the area.
