Hello, I’m 16 and realised that there was loads of tiny bumps on the side of my rib cage(axillary nodes). I know ur not meant to be able to feel them but I was curious that because I have a really low body fat percentage(5%) does that make it easier to feel nodes around my body and is that the reason I can feel my axillary nodes. Bare in mind I can’t actually feel the nodes individually  but when I rub my hand around the side of my rib cage I can feel loads of small bumps that feel like they sit just above the rib cage rather than on it
