A member asked:
Are neck lymph nodes under the skin or within the skin itself? woke with a small mildly tender lump on my neck that moves with the skin if i pinch the surrounding area and move it, so it seems to be in the skin rather than under it. lymph node?

Lymph nodes are under the skin . So if the mass moves with the skin it is in the skin. But best to see your doc for evaluation
