Accepted Answer

Difficult to say: There are several things to consider.  It could be just run of the mill mild folliculitis...But there is also something called hydradinitis supperativa.  The latter is more acne like and takes far long to treat and go away.  For now..Stop shaving.  Make sure you replace the razor frequently and sterilize it in chlorox or the like in between shaves.

Question 5

my little boy has three swollen lymph nodes down one side of his neck (starts in his hair line then goes down to mid neck) for over 3 weeks now. how long can they take to go down? dr has seen them and said they are just reactive lymph nodes?

: Movable small lymph nodes (diameter less than 1.5 cm)  are often found in the anterolateral neck in children.  They may not disappear but may get smaller and stay.  Chance of malignancy, e.g., lymphoma,  is extremely low.

Need a check up: 6 months of those symptoms require more examinations to rule out overactive thyroid, lymphoma or even emotional causes. Evaluation of lung and heart status is important as well.

Question 8

16 yrs old - nosebleeds, night sweats (occasionally), tired all the time, swollen lymph nodes, leg pain, fever (occasionally), shortness of breath?

Start by seeing: A doctor. You most likely need to have a complete blood count done and a history and physical.

Question 9

ive been sick for 2 months!! swollen lymph nodes on left side of body. ive been to the dr.s office 3 times.

Accepted Answer

More specifics: Do you mean the swollen nodes at the left side  of the neck and  not the whole body?  If so, it may mean that there is a sinus infection or dental abscess. I can't think of a condition which causes nodes to be enlarged involving much of the left side of the body. Perhaps you need a second opinion by seeing another doctor

Question 10

young male child with swollen lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Any child with enlarged lymph nodes should have a visit to his/her pediatrician.  Most enlargement of lymph nodes are what we called reactive enlargement, because it is usually associated with an infectious process, like sore throat, ear infection, etc.  Now, enlargement of lymph nodes that are persistent, above certain size or in certain places can be the the first sign of more severe diseases.
