Reactive lymph node: The lymph nodes are located all over the body & sift body serum & remove various particles, germs & debris. After a viral infection like chicken pox that opens areas of skin to contamination it is common for local glands(that may be the size of a pea at rest)to swell to the size of an almond or larger if they are working to clear debris.They should decline in size within 2-3 wks but don't go away.

Many choices: The lumo may be a lymhnode in respose to the chicken pox; however, it could also be unrelated. Best to let your doctor check you to rule out other problems.
