Get checked: Palpable lymph nodes in this area beyond puberty is relatively uncommon. Although there may be nothing to worry about, they should always be examined by a physician and considered in the context of other possible symptoms and medical history. Biopsy is often considered to rule out occult infection, immune problem or malignancy.
