Common Questions and Answers about Does acne cause swollen lymph nodes

acne

Avatar f tn Hello, Yes back acne if severe can lead to swollen lymph nodes. Back and shoulder acne are quite difficult to treat compared to acne on other parts of the body. Thoroughly wash your body everyday, especially the back and shoulder part using a back brush and frequently change your bed sheet, as it is conducive for bacterial growth. Engage in a diet that is low in sugar and fat but is rich in vitamins. This prevents acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil on the skin.
Avatar m tn Any infection can cause lymph nodes to swell, and they don't have to swell evenly. Usually, when you have a cold, the infection is symmetrical and so are they lymph nodes, but this isn't always the case. As for your infection spreading, I think you'd feel worse if that were the case, but the ENT should be able to tell you more definitively.
Avatar f tn In addition, for the past year and a half, I have been having swollen lymph does under both my arms and groin area. Sometimes they get really big and burst. And I have this horrible pimple breakout on my buttocks. Lately, I've been having hard lumps under my waist on my pubic area. I've shaved a few times before. I don't have any pimples on my face... Could these stuff all be because of that? Or maybe hormones? Or do I have something? Someone, anyone, please help???
Avatar m tn I now have a lump on my left flank (side) and my right flank. I also have swollen lymph nodes in my groin area. I notice the in class I will sweat in my armpits and it makes me cringe. I wear anti-persperant deoderant. I have also noticed that I have gotten extremely irritable. I am also tired alot of the time. I will find myself waking up and not knowing when I fell asleep.
Avatar f tn Oh I forgot to mention when I saw the ob last week they did a vaginal swab and called this week and said I had bacterial vaginitis and put me on Flagl, could that have cause the swollen groin lymph nodes? Sorry so many questions. Thank you in advance.
Avatar f tn Lymph nodes are throughout the body and often become swollen if there's some infection nearby. You probably remember the doctor checking the nodes in your neck area if you went in for a sore throat. With a breast exam, the doctor will check the nodes in your arm pits. Take the antibiotics and see if that helps. If the doctor suspects diverticulitis he may want to do a colon scan (sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy). You said it's not an ovarian cyst. Did you have an ultrasound done already?
Avatar n tn Sometime at the end of March or early April I got a bad cold/bad allergy, I also had an acne cyst or an ingrown hair on the center/right portion of my neck. Sometime in all of this I noticed a lymph node was a bit swollen and a bit tender on the right side of my neck. If it wasn't tender, I may or may not have even noticed it. I noticed it was a bit tender when I would wash my face. The tenderness lasted maybe a few days and went away.
Avatar m tn Doctor i am currently experiencing hemorrhoids, could those be the cause of my swollen groin lymph nodes?
Avatar f tn Hello, I'm just wondering what could cause 2 lymph nodes to increase and decrease in size in the same day? This has been going on for several months where both my lymph nodes will get to be about the size of a walnut and then shrink back down to the size of a bean. It's always a little inflamed but when they inflame they inflame together in both forearms. They also look a little grey. Right under my skin I can see some greyness...
Avatar n tn I believe I have swollen lymph nodes on either side of my groin, in the inguinal area. They are also tender to the touch. I was wondering what might cause it. I just got a tattoo on my lower back 24 hours ago, might that cause it? Could a bladder infection be the cause? (I've noticed my urine smells a bit funny...) Thank you!
Avatar m tn A lot of times you wouldn't be able to see swollen lymph nodes and other times swollen lymph are noticeable.
Avatar f tn A few days after finding lymph nodes and swollen neck (muscles in neck were sore and swollen) I got body aches or soreness everywhere and felt bad. About four days later and about a week after initial swollen lymph nodes I got more swollen nodes and bad aches in both of my sides . A few days after that around eyes eyes looked swollen and my eyes were watery with slightly thick drainage and prickly sensation over skin.
Avatar f tn I've noticed lately that both my Epitrochlear lymph nodes are swollen in my arm. At first I thought it was a cyst because I get cysts often, but I'm now realizing they're both in the same place on both arms and are in the same location of the Epitrochlear lymph nodes. I was checking myself for other inflamed nodes and I found another one under my right armpit. I'm not sick or anything. I have been really tired lately and just plain old exhausted...
Avatar f tn Did you go test and get your conclusive test result? One lymph node swollen is in no way an indication of ARS.
Avatar m tn if you have swollen lymph nodes durring ars do they stay swollen for along time after ars or do they go back to normal after a couple weeks? and is it true that any symptoms of hiv you have after the ars period are most likely not related to hiv. do lymph nodes swell all at the same time with hiv or do they swell in one area and then the next until over a period of time you have alot of them.
Avatar f tn Can herpes cause swollen inguinal lymph nodes? The lymph node on my right side of my groin swelled up to the size of an oval shaped tomato. I have been diagnosed with herpes and have had several mini breakouts since my diagnoses. Is my lymph node swollen due to herpes? Now I have a swollen lymph node on the left side of my neck the size of my groin lymph node. Now I have one under my arm. Why are my lymph nodes swollen so? What's causing them to swell?
Avatar n tn Can anxiety about poss health problems cause pain/tingling in the neck, behind ears, under arms and behind knees? My lymph nodes are not swollen but are uncomfortable with this tingling/pain. I also am getting burning sensation/tingling in my lips and tongue, again can this be related to anxiety??
Avatar n tn Is it normal to remove 30 lymph nodes during staging? How many are usually removed during this procedure?
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 29 yr old gay male and always practice safe penetration (top if that matters) but much for oral since I read in many forums that oral is not so risky. In mid August, I had a pea sized small swollen lymph under my left jaw. I didn't know it was a lymph, and since it didn't hurt, I didn't care much. It stayed there for like a month and then second one of similar size came up close to it in mid Sept. Slowly they started going down, but then a third one popped up above them.
Avatar n tn I really do think that the stress and alcohol combined was the cause of these swollen glands. But this does not mean that your lymph nodes are swelling for the same reason. The most common reason for lymph nodes to swell is fighting off infection, so it could be that you drank too much and the alcohol compromised your immune system, causing your lymph nodes to swell in order to fight something off...to play it safe, see your doc. P.S. I am not a medical professional!
Avatar m tn there are MANY common illnesses that can cause swollen lymph nodes. hiv is not diagnosed by symptoms.
Avatar m tn Oftentimes, even with resolution of infection, these enlarged lymph nodes would not regress in size. Recurrent infection would make the lymph nodes to enlarge intermittently. Lymphomas would present with enlarged lymph nodes. This is associated with constitutional symptoms of fever, sweating, weight loss, and sometimes itchiness of the skin. I would suggest that you continue to observe your child for any symptoms and bring her to her pediatrician for evaluation and management. Good luck.
