A member asked:
If you are tall and thin. bmi around 19, 20. is it easier to palpate/feel lymph nodes that are in the groin and neck?

Yes: Thin people have less fat surrounding their body and that makes it easier to palpate any abnormality including lymph nodes. If you have any concerns, you should be examined by a doctor.
