Lumps in armpits

I was seen at my doctor for an infected cyst in my armpit. I have to have surgery to have it completely removed. I now have 3 or 4 small hard lumps in each armpit. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with breast feeding. I could be totally off, but it's the only new thing in the past few weeks. Thoughts??

    Was the infected cyst before you had your LO? It could be plugged ducts, as mammary tissue extends into the armpits.

    No it was after. DD was about a month old. These are sore to touch. But my breasts feel fine and I'm not having and issues.

    I had similar lumps in the beginning with DS and my LC told me it was just part of the clogged ducts and to just massage them while I was feeding. It hurt like a mother, but they went away. I've gotten a few more since then and all I have to do is a little massage and they are usually gone within a day or two.
