Lymph node lumps

Hi, 

How far down can lymph nodes be? I have had one swollen lymph node close to the skin on my neck that I've been able to feel for a few months, however when I pinch my skin, under neath I think I can feel more. They're a lot further down than the one I originally found. Will these be swollen lymph nodes or something else? For reference, my mum cannot feel these new ones but I can.

    Hi and thanks for posting

    If you are worried about your nodes, it's always best to be seen by the GP , so you can be examined ,as no one can really say what you are feeling without being checked out first. It's difficult to know sometimes what you are feeling and it could just be part of your normal anatomy. 

    So do make an appointment and have a chat with the GP about your concerns.

    All the best
