Lymph nodes - so worried

Wazzaroon
Offline

Hi all,  31 male. 

I noticed last week I had a red itchy spot in my scalp. At the same I noticed 2 swollen nodes behind my ear and one on the back of my head. 

I paid privately to see an ENT consultant and he felt them and said they are very likely to be reactive and he doesn’t feel they’re suspicious and knew I was worried so offered to biopsy them for my peace of mind. 

I have today noticed I have a visible nose swollen on my right thigh too.

ive also had a very very itchy scalp 

im so so worried.

  • Welcome to the forum Wazzaroon although I'm sorry for the worry these lymph nodes are causing.

    Many of our members have also contended with swollen lymph nodes so I'm sure it won't be long until some of them come across your post and stop by to share their experiences and advice.

    We're thinking of you Wazzaroon and will have our fingers crossed the biopsy results bring good news when they come through.

    Kind regards,
