Can Basal Cell Removal From The Shoulder Cause A Swollen Lymph Node At The Base Of The Skull?
Good evening. I recently had removal of basal cell cancer from my right shoulder. I had internal and external sutures. The scar is painful and raised and I have stabbing pain on and off. I now have a painful lump at the base of my skull that is making it hard to sleep. Could this be a swollen lymph node caused by the basal cell removal?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I am really sorry to say you that the removal of basal cell will not cause the swelling of lymph node but the malignancy it self would be responsible for this swelling, have word with your oncologist, whish you a rapid recovery have good day.
