A member asked:
I think my preauricular lymph node is swollen, the left on right infront of my ear. it doesn't hurt it's very moveable could this be cancerous?

Unlikely. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
