Swollen Lymph Nodes (possibly allergy related)
by marshall92, Aug 04, 2009 01:47PM
I am 16 years old and I noticed swollen lymph nodes in my neck and groin area about 1 year ago. I'm not even sure if they are swollen as they are pea-sized. They are rubbery and don't bother my at all. I am worried because I have one on the left side of my neck but not the right. I bike 12 miles to work every day and after the ride the nodes are not even noticeable. Even if I try to find them, I almost always can't. They have not gotten bigger since I originally discovered them, but I don't think they have gotten any smaller. I did have slight chest pains a while ago, but they receded, and I think it was all in my head. Anyways, should I be concerned? I posted this in the allergy section because I figure they could be allergy related, not sure though.

Welcome to the forum!
If you do not have any problem and they have not increased in size then probably you need not worry about them. Local skin infections or even lymph flow can cause them. However since you have them please consult your PCP once.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
