I'm a 21-year-old female and I've been dealing with right axillary lymphadenopathy along with central, lateral, and pectoral lymphadenopathy for about 3 years now. I was diagnosed with a 49mm fibroadenoma in the upper quadrant of my right breast through USG and FNAC around the same time. I'm really worried because these lymph nodes have been persistent and haven't shrunk, despite stopping the removal of axillary hair for months. There's no infection in my arms or chest, no nipple discharge, but sometimes I do feel a prickly sensation in my breast. Should I be concerned about the lymph nodes not reducing in size? What could be causing this?
