Is this a swollen lymph node?
I did experience something that may be a swollen lymph node during a period post unprotected sex that has worried me.
Basically, it was a small lump directly on the skin under the ear lobe on both ears. The lump was about half the size of a pea and quite hard to the touch.
Would you say this could have been a swollen lymph node or something else?

You posted twice.You had unprotected sex with a man you said.I,ve already answered your question.
Lymph nodes that swell up can be as a result of many different illnesses.The common flu being one.It's not hiv specific.What do you think was your exposure and how long ago did it take place.
