Swollen lymph nodes.

Hi guys, Charlotte here. Was just wondering if someone can help me...I have swollen glands in my groin and my armpit both on the left hand side. I have had cysts/boils before and they have always subsided. I had a boil in my groin around 3 years ago, which burst as I had a hot compress over it. I went to my GP where they then drained the rest of it and packed my wound as there was a small hole there. With my swollen glands this time, I have noticed that they are painful to the touch but only if they are squeezed or rubbed. I squee moi zed the one in my armpit to test if I can move it (which I can). As I tried to move it, I felt it pop but nothing came out?? I have also done the same with the one in my groin, but a clear gel-like liquid came out of it. Can someone recommend something please? I have been to the GP and he states that they are boils/cysts, but I'm just really worried about them. 
Thanks in advance, Charlotte x 

  • hi charlotte 

    im going through a simular thing and im only 15. ive avoided going to the doctors for almost a year (i had lumps on the right side of my neck to begin with and now i have one on the left side of my neck which is bigger than the ones on the right side). im going to try and get an appointment at the doctors this coming week. ive read stuff online about lumps and on the NHS website and its say most of the time they are nothing but its always best to go to the doctors to check anyway. 

     

  • Hi, thanks for getting in touch! I'm only 21 myself, I think I always jump to the worst conclusion possible haha. Let me know how you get on at the GP darling. Hoping everything will be okay xxx
