Acne or Lymph nodes

Acne or Lymph nodes

Hi All
This is my first post, let me  say I've had years of anxiety over hiv, and like anyone will poke and prod themselves to check all the time. This has been effecting my daily life. :(

Well I had sex with hookers all protected with no stds (not doing this ever again), I've been getting these painful pimples ( ido have an acne problem) by my jaw(above jawline by lower cheek by molars) that eventually build into puss and I can pinch them open. They bleed alot also, my question is  I have an acne problem or is this lymph nodes. Can you burst a lymph node.
And how do you judge if a lymph node is big.

I don't show any other signs, and I'm preparing myself to go and get tested, I'm sure you guys know how stressful that is. :(
This has given me endless torment.

Thanks
Anxietyguy
