I gave birth on monday 18th march 2019.i am breastfeeding&have inflammation under my arms due to milk tissue. what can i use to soften as its painful?

Difficult issue: Unfortunately, for some this represents distant breast tissue that will remain swollen & make milk as long as you BF. It could be inflamed sweat glands which would be treated with antibiotics, but this is usually only one side. Your doc can help sort this out. In the interim a cool compress can reduce some of the discomfort.
