A couple days ago I started feeling a small lump in the side of my neck.

Six weeks or so ago I had the same sort of thing in my under arm. At the time I chalked it up to an infection from an ingrown hair.

But now I'm thinking the two are connected. Any ideas?

I see my LLMD next week so I'll ask him about it, but just curious for now.

Is it a lymphnode? Usually swollen glands are a sign of bart.

I can't tell if it's one of my lymphnodes or not, I'm gonna have my sister (RN) check it out this afternoon.

My glands do swell up when I'm going through a "bad spell", so perhaps it is connected.

But these are little lumps, almost like when you would have a cyst or something. These are in addition to the swollen glands.

I get the swollen lymph nodes that I figure are bart related, but lately, I've been getting these cyst like bumps on my hands and fingers. I recall having them awhile back and asked the LLMD about them and he thought it looked like a fugus.

They went away and are coming back again. Mine itch and aren't related to a pimple since they just aren't in places you would find a bunch of pimples, I wouldn't think.

I don't know if we are talking about the same thing, but hopefully someone will be able to tell us what either of us are talking about and how to relieve them.

I wondered if this is where the skin is detoxing, but dang, hands and fingers? Odd.

The best way I can describe is it it's like when you have overdone a workout and have a knot in your muscle, but they are smaller.
