hi, i am 27 years old female, i have two occipital lymph nodes for 1.5 months, which are smaller than 1cm in long axis and stays the same. when I check my chain last week, to control if I have any more ones, I realized 2-3 which are smaller than 1 cm again. (I have 3 USGs and 2 full blood tests, saw 3 doctors and they said no problem these are normal) I just want to learn it is possible to make them more clear by poking every moment since I cannot stop myself from touching and poking.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have multiple occipital lymph nodes.  Most probably it is due to reactive hyperplasia of lymph node due to some infection in scalp area.  Other rare possibilities are tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
