I have a bulge under my armpit

I am a woman in my 20s. 27 to be exact. I have a bulge under my armpit and it bothers me. Is it axillary fat? When I press it, it is soft and I feel
nothing inside. the bulge is on the upper and lower armpit. Should I be worry? I realised I have
always had a bulge but it was never visible and bothered me enough until I gained weight and it started to be more visible. I am to shy to go to
the doctor. Thanks.
