Kate, that's kind of the borderline region between breast tisue and regular tissue. It's close enough that you should definitely see a doctor. Any lumps in your breast (or your armpit) should be checked by a doctor. And as I said, this one's location is too close to call. So don't stress, but call for an appointment, OK? Good luck - PJH
