Lymph nodes are located throughout the body & generally noticeable in exposed areas like the neck. They are usually PEA sized at rest and enlarged when stimulated by bug bites, dermatitis, drainage or infection. They rarely can become damaged by infection & grow to golf ball size & need drainage or removal. The node as described is normal.
