A member asked:
Is it normal to have excess breast tissue for five years in only one armpit? i'm 18. it's not noticeable when my arm is raised but is with my arm down

Yes,: this happens. Frankly, I wouldn't rush to do anything about it in someone who's body shape is liekly to still be changing with puberty. Often it becomes totally symmetric. Not a health issue, but could be a reason for minor cosmetic surgery.
