A member asked:
I have a cold sore and now i have developed a knot under my chin that seems to be growing in length and is red. any idea what could be happening?

HSV: The viral infection resulting in the cold sore most likely has made a lymph node under your chin grow as it fights the infection, If it persists you should be seen by your provider.
