A member asked:
How long does it take for a swollen lymph node to do down from a infected tattoo on the arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May take time: Swollen lymph nodes usually take a fairly long time to resolve and sometimes do not totally return to normal due to structural changes in the node or fibrosis and scaring.
