<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.About 2.5 years ago I have noticed a lump under my armpit. I went for surgery after 6-7 months I first notices this. After the autopsy it was discovered it was benign tumor. My surgeon told me 3 things about this : 1 benign tumor is harmless and should never come back once it s removed successfully. 2 It will take around 1-1.5 year for my armpit to be normal, as lump was big and it will take time for cells to form again. 3 He said you will feel stiffness under armpit around surgery area and also you will feel the stiffness from in side. It s been 1 year 7 months since surgery and I can still feel the stiffness from inside not on scene. Also I feel paindis comfirt in armpitsouldertri shape area. I don t have un bearable pain, but still have some pain. Some time I feel like my lump is back again. But not sure. Don t want to go to normal surgeon as I know he will ask for surgery. Now knowing my full history can some one suggest any good medicine for making my armpit soft. I can feel rock solid lump and want to get rid of this one. Any ideamedicine most welcome.  <response>: Thanks for sharing your health concern with us!well, it is biopsy and not autopsy which is done after a persons death...anyway, you are possibly suffering from a hypertrophic scar-like condition and as arm pit is normally wrinkling area, it is more in intensity. Not to worry much an opinion from a plastic surgeon is most welcome otherwise you can use topical lotionscreams with low dose steroid that will help to soften the tissue.all the best!
