Yes, normal lymph nodes can be palpated in thin individuals, best to confirm your primary care doc during your annual exam.

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!
