Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, there are a few causes that could cause swollen lymph nodes such as:

  • Strept throat
  • Ear infections
  • Tooth abscess
  • Cellulitis
  • Tuberculosis
  • Lymphoma
  • Leukemia

But usually swollen lymph nodes are accompanied with symptoms such as pain and tenderness. Swellings under the skin might also be due to:

  • Cyst such as sebaceous cyst
  • Lipoma - a grwoth of fat tissue
  • An abscess - a lump of white cells and bacteria after infection
  • Swollen lymph nodes - from infection or problems with white blood cells
  • Acne

In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor.
