    trauma, internal bruising.  If the breast is hot to the touch, there might be an infection.  Swelling is another possibility.  This really is normal and can take several months to go away completely.  If you are worried, call your PS3.  If you have a temperature, they are hot to the touch or seem to continue swelling, get thee to the PS.  Do not worry about "bothering" the doctor, that is their job.  I hope all is well.

    Hey @Far

    It seems you're victim bad infection that is why your under arm hard like stone, it will take time to be normal so don't worry about this. If you still frightened then go to the doctor for checkup as @Marty suggest you.
