Hello all, hope you are all as well as can be.
Late last week I got bitten by a insect and a red spot popped up on my neck, I was fiddling around scratching it etc and I suddenly noticed a circular lump in the hollow of my neck (above clavicle)
Its not protruding and only appears if I look for it but it is there.
I've seen various sources saying you should (with a deal of poking) be able to feel lymph nodes in that area and other sources suggesting you shouldn't.
I haven't been to the GP yet as aside a wee dry throat and my usual acid I'm feeling well and with good appetite.
I am curious as to whether anyone else can feel or notices their lymph nodes in this part of the body.
many thanks all
