Lumps in neck? Could be Swollen Lymph Nodes.

Lots of TSW'ers are reporting a weird symptom of lumps under the skin. The lumps could be anywhere in the body, but commonly appear in the neck.

I actually had two lumps appear at the back of my neck a few days ago. Upon further research, I believe that they are swollen lymph nodes.

Lymph nodes are bean-shaped and protect the body against infection. Each node protects a certain area of the body. For example, the nodes at the back of the neck protect the scalp region,

With TSW, it is common for the scalp to get itchy and if you scratch, it can cause the body to go into overdrive. Suspecting an infection, the lymph nodes in the back of the neck swell up and react to the threat. This can also happen to the nodes in other parts of the body such as the groin or armpits.

Of course, any kind of swelling should be investigated by a doctor if you are concerned, as there can be many different causes for lumps under the skin.
