A member asked:

I have really hard lumpy breast and armpit. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Any abnormalities in the breast should be examined by a breast surgeon. A thorough breast history should also be given. Fibrocystic breasts are a condition that is very common and could be the source of your issues. It is best to be evaluated by someone experienced in breast diseases.
