Hello and thank you for your post.

I am afraid that we cannot say what, if anything, is the matter. It looks like the ultrasound scan has said everything looks normal so that is reassuring.

Lymph nodes can be increased in size for many reasons, it is not always because of cancer.  Also after a bacterial or viral infection they can stay increased for some time after the infection has gone.

Perhaps what you should now is follow your GP advice for a bit longer and if you are still concerned go back and get checked out again. Also please, if you are doing this, don't prod the areas as this could agitate your lymph nodes. 

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline 

Yeah ino but i have really bad anxiety since and it just scares me because I don't know what's causing it and the doctors are not finding out.

Hello and thanks for posting again,

We are not able to diagnose anyone on the forum but it is reassuring to know that your ultrasound did not show anything suspicious on your raised lymph nodes. I am sure if they had shown anything that looked suspicious then they would have taken a biopsy. Ultrasounds are the gold standard test for looking at swollen lymph glands.

There are any number of reasons why people get rashes which may be because of a reaction to a shower gel or washing powder so try to use gentle products for sensitive skin and a non biological washing powder which might help clear up the rash. If it still does not appear to be clearing up then do let your GP know or you could also ask the advice of a pharmacist.

I am sorry to hear that you are being affected by health anxiety. You may find it helpful to look at the NHS information on 'Every Mind Matters' which has tips on how to help manage anxiety. Have a look here

Try not to overthink it all too much but do get back in touch with your GP if you remain anxious.

Take Care,

Catherine
