Supraclavicular Lymph Node.. Worried!!!!

Hello All, 

I recently had my covid vaccine - I noticed my shoulder / collarbone was sensitive when I touched it a day after I noticed I had a small, moveable, lump. 
 

I spoke to the GP on the phone (because of covid) she said it's likely a lymph node from the jab. I went away and still wasn't happy as no one saw me... so I called back and spoke to a different GP... she didn't sound worried either, but called me in... I saw her, she felt it and didn't blink an eye lid... but said she would give me a blood test for peace of mind. 
 

I rang back to get the results and spoke to a further GP... my blood tests were completely normal.... I explained it to him too and he also didn't seem like he was concerned. 
 

I work at a private hospital, so went to see a consultant dermatologist on his lunch break ( he has had a special interest in lumps and bumps for 28 years ) - he wasn't worried, said it was small like a little finger tip size, it was moveable etc... and then he said come and see me in three weeks for a follow up. I went back, he said there's been no change. So he wasn't worried... 

I have severe health anxiety and Google is sending me through the roof...

has anyone had a supraclavicular node story and it not be sinister?? 
 

I suffer with breast acne, could this cause the swelling???

    I just wanted to say that I had an ultrasound on my collarbone yesterday as I had a lymph node swell up and it is vaccine related for me. The sonographer said they are seeing so many more people about this, of course always get it checked but I hope you find comfort in that there are lots of us who have this and seems to coincide with the vaccine.

    mine only measured 4mm on screen but it feels so much bigger, I would say at least a centimetre but it made me think that I am feeling it under layers of skin etc.

    I have reported mine on the yellow card scheme in the hope that if more of us do it when vaccine related it will bump it to a more common side effect and there is more awareness of it.
