Leave it alone: If it is a node or a boil, it could cause a worsening infection. Leave them alone. If they start draining or you run a fever, see your doctor.

Lymph nodes: Don't push on it. Your lymph nodes help fight off infection in your body. They may be swollen due to whatever you were doing to your abdomen. You may also have an abdominal or pelvic infection. Have you had a fever? Go see your doctor if this doesn't resolve on its own in a few days.
