Is it normal to have extra skin between arm and boob?

73% Normal
9 Comments

I have this skin between my arm and boob, I dont know if its fat but people are telling me its skin, excess skin. I'm quite thin, and I was never fat, which is normal to have this after losing weight. I know a lot of women have this problem, but its pretty obvious for me and kind of weird seeing it on a skinny girl. Is this normal? Does anyone else have this problem?

    It's NOT just fat. I had the same thing and learned they're actually 'fatty tumors'. I had both of mine removed. It was a quick surgery; I was in and out of the hospital within 3 hours for each side. It took about a month to heal and have the staples removed. It's strange to see normal armpits after all those years but it's worth it. If you have insurance I definitely suggest having the little bits removed. The 'tumors' are usually benign so no worries!

    It's fat. It's really, really easy to get rid of it.
    Swim a bunch, jumping jacks with weights and lifting weights horizontally all work.

    I used to have the same problem and I got rid of it by weight training. I used the butterfly press, SLOW reps, but even. imagine its a slowly moving elevator. AND DONT FORGET TO STRETCH!! it will improve little by little the more u do it.
