Hi Doctor, I am concerned by what I think is swelling of my lymph nodes. I have bad sun burn around my neck, which turned rough and itchy. There are two pea sized lumps that move slightly when i press on them on either side of the back of my neck, and a disturbingly large lump right under my right clavicle. It s about the size of a small marble, and it moves as well, and feels somewhat hard. I just returned from three bahamian islands, and also visited the everglades, full of mosquitos i hear. anything you can tell me would be appreciated.
Hello, You may be having a lymph node enlargement due to local inflammation. That means the lymph node enlargement may be due to the inflammation caused due to sunburn also. This enlargement usually subsides when the inflammation decreases. I would suggest you to consult your physician if the lymph node enlargement does not come down. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
