i have been getting swollen lymph nodes in the same spot on and off for a little while now ofc doctor says maybe i have a cold which im sure i would know if i had a cold and now i have this small ball directly under my chin it isnt tender very moveable and soft. not sure if thats swollen or what but ive never felt that there. when i lift my neck up and run my hand down under my chin i can feel it poking out although its not visible. i am very worried. i dont have any symptoms beside the usual anxiety symptoms which have mostly just been fatigue for me.

mine are usually on the left side of my jaw or on the right side by my neck they are usually painful and go down after a few days. i do actually have a breakout i am currently on my period i didnt know acne can cause bumps underneath skin.

Me either! I think people def associate lymph nodes with more scary, serious issues. But in reality they can swell from any sort of inflammation of the skin or infection in your body. So it makes sense then why acne could cause them to swell bc acne is skin inflammation. Especially in my case, I tend to pick so then my acne turns to cuts on my face and then that's even worse lol. My dermo gave me a topical antiotic cream for that so the cuts heal quicker and then the nodes all go back to normal.

My Dr also told me that most people don't have an issue with acne causing their lymph nodes to swell, but if you're someone like me who has extra sensitive nodes then it can. You probably have over sensitive lymph nodes also.

ive been suffering with swollen lymph nodes on and off too. mine are mainly in the crease of my arm and behind my left knee. they aint big and not really noticeable unless i touch them. i get them on my head but like previous mine swell in my head and back of neck when i have a skin issue i.e spots etc. the one behind my left knee is worrying me a little...its not perfectly round nor is it very large but i dont often get swollen ones there. ive recently had a bad ovulation due to me coming off the pill so not sure if it is cos of that. i instantly think the worse!!
