Hi there. About three years ago I found a raised lump on the side of my lower neck that turned out to be an enlarged lymph node (had ultrasound, blood test etc). It went down naturally.

This time it’s back again, but perhaps a bit smaller. I found it this morning and have been panicking since. Due to severe health anxiety I don’t really want to go back to the doctor.

Can anyone help rationalise this for me? I’m a 30 year old male, fit and healthy (physically at least!).

Is it likely to be that same harmless raised lymph node again, or something worse?

I’d appreciate any reassurance.

Thanks
