Two small hard lumps way under the skin just under the jawline and have had them for around three months what would these be?
SarahMulholland
ANSWER: Most likely lymph glands... If you had an abscessed tooth or severe acne/boil on one side of your lower face, the "poisons" would have drained into the anterior [front] cervical [neck] chain [they are grouped like a chain]. Lymph nodes [glands] grow to filter out toxins/poison in the lymphatic system, which is essentially the third 'circulatory' system of the body. If an enfection in located in one area of the body lymph nodes grow in direct relationship to the amount of toxin/poison in that area... Most nodes are deep within the body and cannot be felt. If the person affected has a severe viral infection then the nodes under the jaw can swell [grow]... If a child has an ear infection often he/she will develop swollen nodes behind the ear at the base of the skull... HOWEVER, if a person finds enlarging nodes under the jaw AND/or under the arms, the inside of the elbows, in the groin areas, then a physician needs to be consulted as this could mean other, possibly more serious conditions... Hope this helps!
