swollen glands are the result of an infection within the body. once the infection is gone, the swelling in the glands should subside. if you feel ok, but your glands are still swollen, see a doctor.

Hello,\nFirst of all don't worry about all those comments. I don't think it is a lymph node as they are deep and will not cause obvious swelling. The most likely cause is an infection of the sweat glands, Hidradenitis suppurativa is an annoying chronic condition characterised by swollen, painful, inflamed lesions in the armpits(also affects other areas) which affects 1-2% of the population.\nYou may need antibiotics but you need to see a doctor just to make sure it is not something else. \nGood luck

Oh jeez, you need to go to a doctor right away and get a real diagnosis.  We're all just guessing and you wouldn't want something to be misdiagnosed on a dumb website, would you? It could be anything from thyroid problems to swollen glands or something worse. Don't take any chances.  Please go see your family doctor right away.  LOL :o)

actually when i was in middle school i had a swollen lymp node on my neck. it started small but eventually grew to the size of an egg. they removed for an biopsy. they couldn't find anything wrong. i have never had any problems sense. i have always been curious as to why it did that. i no that isn't much help, i would see a physician to see what they suggest, after all that was years ago.

You might have an overactive sweat gland. A doctor can prescribe a special deodorant for you to help with this.

You might want to check with a doctor, it may be a sinus infection if you have allergies all year round. I constantly get them.

Well, she should know what riskful behaviour she engaged in.  Swollen lymph nodes can be a sign of aids.  But it is also a sign of many other things.  Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in neck can be due to the mono virus or due to strep throat.  Various viruses can cause some swelling of lymph nodes for a time.  Localized bacterial infection can cause locally swollen lymph nodes for a time.  Cancer can cause locally swollen lymph nodes and Lymphoma causes swollen lymph nodes.  Swollen gums can be caused by poor dental hygiene and bad teeth, also by Scurvy, which is vitamin C deficiency.

don't worry about it.  like your family has said it's just a swollen gland.  \n\nwhen you get sick, the bacteria or viruses that are making you sick travel through your lymph system and get stuck in the nodes.  your cells of your immune system travel there to fight the infection.  but they don't leave after, they just slowly die off.  so that's what's going on here.\n\nif you're really worried, you can just have it checked the next time you see your doctor and they'll tell you pretty much the same thing.  \n\nhowever, if it ever hurts when you push on it (which you say it doesn't right now) then you should think about seeing a doctor for it. \n\nfor now, rest easy, you've got nothing to worry about.

Definitely go see your doctor or eye doctor!  Swelling is a sign of inflammation or infection and probably needs to be treated.

It's more than likely an inflamed lymph gland, but it's a good idea to have it check out. Could be a symptom of Mono....

It's propably nothing to worry about. I have one such lymph node leftover from my childhood.\n\nTo pinpoint the cause of the swollen lymph node (which is what they are called) you must know which part of the body it "drains". Lymph nodes in the front part of the neck drain the face/throat/teeth while those in the back part drain the scalp/ear. Typically a young child might have acquired a hard lymph node from a bad tooth or an ear infection. Even lice or skin infections may cause the appearance of palpable lymph nodes.\n\nAs a general rule, worry if :\na) It grows\nb) It's not painful (malignant lymph nodes, as in lymphoma, are usually not painful)\nc) It's large (over 2cm)\nd) More lymph nodes gradually appear around it\ne) There is no obvious explanation (recent infection to skin/teeth/throat etc).\nf) Systemic symptoms appear (fever, arthritis etc)\n\nMost children have/acquire a few small palpable lymph nodes that are usually not significant. \n\nHaving said all the above (and I firmly believe it's nothing to worry about!) I cannot really advise you to just forget it. Be sure to ask for a doctor's advice since a real hands-on physical exam is necessary for a responsible answer.

Sounds like hemhorroids and an infected  sebaceous gland, but it's hard to tell without a thourogh exam.  See your Dr. ASAP!  That is no area you want to play aroud with.  (Pun not intended)

They're called Montgomery's glands, and they're normal.  They can swell up and become more noticeable at certain times as your hormone levels change.  If they start to hurt or something, you should probably talk to a doctor, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you rub your chin or sit with your hand in front of your mouth a lot? It could be just that you're sweating a lot around that area and that is why the outbreaks of spot.\n\nIf there are other symptoms such as excess growth of facial hair, it could be an indicator of polycystic ovaries. If you're worried, get it checked out by your doctor.
