What Causes Swollen Lymph Node?
I have had a swollen lymph node on the right side just under my jaw/ear area for a while. I only notice it when I shave and while it doesn't seem really big it is definitely bigger then my left side. Last week I noticed a rash on my right shoulder. It doesn't hurt or itch and is fairly small about 5" x 5" with another smaller patch close by. I have no idea what this is from. I have been scaring myself on Google with possible causes. Could these two things be related? I a have an appointment to see my doctor in a week.

HI
Well come to HCM
If the lymph node is swollen and painful then this could be due to infection some time abscess formation may be likely and this need to be differentiated, and for that some investigation may be needed like complete blood count, x-ray study, clinical examination, till then this can be managed with "Tab Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen" have this three times in day, take care.
