I have had itchy skin for several months now. Had some basic blood tests done, they came back normal. My dr also touched my neck and belly, she didn't find anything strange.
Now, yesterday i noticed a lymph node near my right collar bone, about 1 cm above the collar bone to be exact. This totally freaks me out because I have read so many times that this is not a nice place to have swollen lymph nodes (=it is a sign of lymphoma or other cancer).
My first thought was to run back to my GP. But then I tried to think about it. I have had a bad cold something like a month ago, but collar bone lymph nodes usually are not involved in throat infections, are they?
It is not very big. It is about 1 cm or little less. It is not very hard and I can move it around.
Together with the itching, it makes me really scared. I would like to hear your opinion...is it wise of me to give it 2,3 maybe 4 weeks before I go to the doctor about it? I really don't want to go because I am too upset and worried... but at the same time, what if it is cancer? Then it would not be very wise to wait...
Help!
