### input:
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 pain/dis comfirt in armpit/soulder/tri 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 idea/medicine most welcome.

### output:

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 lotions/creams with low dose steroid that will help to soften the tissue.all the best!
