Could a bump on your head with a scab and a painless swollen lymph node on the same side be cancer or an infection or neither?
Hi Barbara
Lymph nodes are the filtering system of our bodies and people with high allergy problems can also have problems with basically "clogged" lymph nodes.
I know you must be afraid to see the doctor, but please do. Any bump or lump should be checked out and it is usually nothing. You could have a clogged pore in the scalp, etc., but is it worth the chance to just sit and worry?
As far as I know none of us are doctors on here. I have had lumps on my body and had them checked out and all was fine. So please give it a go and see your doctor.
Good luck Marcy

Cellular damage and genetic factors influence the formation of cancer. Swollen lymph nodes may be a reaction to cancer, or it may be a reaction to an infection. Also, rarely, lymph nodes can get infected themselves, though a swollen lymph node generally means an immune system response to another condition. A lymph node that becomes swollen often should be checked by a doctor, as it might be an infection that your body is having difficulty eliminating.

Do swollen and chapped lips relate to pancreatic cancer?
i have seen patients with pancreatic cancer with this condition, yes but usually it is a more common issue, such as a food allergy or salivary gland infection. With pancreatic cancer u have other symptoms aswell, tiredness, weightloss, vomiting, fever, swollen lymph nodes. If its just swollen lip without any other symptoms than it is probably a food allergy or salivary gland infection. This is not a diagnosis and you should consult your physician if you are worried, it is probably something that is not serious but see your doctor just to be sure.

I just came from the vet scheduled because of my dogs swollen lymph nodes. The vet believes it to be either an infection or lymphoma (cancer). Make an appointment with your vet.
