A member asked:
What could this be? swollen node i can palpate easily, feels small, half finger nail maybe. maybe posterior cervical? right side back base of my neck

Posterior cervical ב: nodes generally originate from SCALP lesions which may not be noticeable (except for itching). Mild infections occur which are drained by those lymph nodes in the "rear" of your neck! Hope this helps Dr Z
