feel something under my ear

about a month ago I was worried about a lump I had under my nipple and I went to 2 different doctors and the 2nd one said it more clearly that I have something t called  gynecomastia which they say is caused due to my weight being up and down all the time, so I was relaxed knowing nothing serious was there. 

last night I was itching my jaw right below my ear lobe and I felt a rubbery lump under my skin simular to the one I felt on my nipple, it moves kinda like jelly as I run my finger across the edge of my jaw it slips away. I booked a appointment to see the gp but just has me worried that the doctor got it wrong or something before and now it's worse for leaving it?

I read that the tonsillar lymph node is around the area I feel it so makes me think its a swollen lymph node but my mind straight away goes to they are swollen because I have something bad 

  • Hi Blake9898,

    It's good to hear you've booked an appointment with the GP - they are the only one who can really advise on this.

    Try not to assume the worst - if it's a lymph node, sometimes these can be swollen due to infection, for example. But the GP will be able to help, so do prepare any questions you may have for them ahead of your appointment.

    Wishing you all the best,
