What Causes Swelling Under The Chin While Having An Infected Pimple?
I have a pimple on my chin that has become infected and now i feel a bump or swollen node under my chin in a different area. its very sore and my whole chin area feels sore and tender. Could this infected pimple have caused a node or something to swell under my chin (by my jaw)?

Any kind of infection in body causes the nearby node to swell and become inflamed. However no seperate treatment is needed for the node.Treating your infection will automatically heal the node. Take a course of antibiotic and anti inflammatory on prescriotion.
