Hello. Lymph nodes are numerous within the neck as well as behind the ears. The closest locations where we can feel these nodes are in the neck, underarms and in the “bikini line” or inguinal area. If the nodes are able to be felt but no change in size, then they are most probably benign. Show your doctor on your next well check just to be sure. Any nodes the size of a marble, needs urgent eval.
