Swollen glands on face
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen glands on face
swollen
about two days ago I developed what I now think is are bites on the side of face, below my sideburns. It looks like acne in a cyst form, but it itches, and now for the past 36 hours my gland near that area (near my ear) has been swollen. Am I having an allergic reaction to something like a spider bite? What can I do?
At first I was experiencing swollen salivary glands due to the radiation treatment. On my yearly scan we noticied that I had a lot of 'uptake' on the right side of my face. My endrocronologist told me this was normal. This was last year in Oct. and I still am having pain and discomfort. We have scheduled a scan for this Wed. but wondering if anyone out there had a similiar situation, where uptake showed in the parotid gland area???
I have seen him once before and he said Virus can get in those glands and stay for a long peroid of time, massage and use warm face cloths on them. When they swell it is painful. My nurologist told me yesterday that I have post nasal dripping down the back of my throat. I have had sinus problems most of my life. She had me use a nasal rinse but a small amount dripped into my throat and made it worse. So I will not do that again. I believe my left ear is blocked with wax.
However, for about 3 weeks now I have noticed my lymph nodes under my chin have been tender and sometimes swollen. In the past 2 days all the lymph nodes in my neck and face are sore and a little swollen. I have a slight fever but none of the other symptoms associated with HIV. I have also been experiencing a discomfort in my stomache and sometimes cramps.
Last week I had a full blood count done which showed up as normal.
While I am working on ridding myself of this disease, is there anything I can do to get rid of my swollen glands, aka chipmunk cheeks, jowels? I've tried anti-inflamatory meds. and have been on antibiotics but neither have made a bit of a difference. Any suggestions?

They may occur anywhere on body but scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.
Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected,Then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required.
s presented with a variety of symptoms, one being a swollen, red, itchy, splotchy face. It went away when I was started on 50 mcg of Synthroid. I looked great for two weeks, but now it is back worse than ever. Also, my scalp is so dry I don't know what to do about it. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
After 2 weeks on PEP all my glands swelled up. They are still swollen and I now have a acne type rash on my face and red like sunburn around my neck. I have not had acne since I was 17 years old. I have diahorrea. It is now 5 months since the high risk exposure.
Could this be ARS now? I have seen other posts which say that PEP does not affect the antibodys produced but surely it would if the viral load was reduced significantly?
I was bulimic for a long time, since stopping i feel 100% better, as much as i would like to put my eating disorder behind me, i feel like i cant because im being constantly reminded with my swollen glands on my face (parotids) they are not painful and not hot, they are just there and usually always swollen. i've read in a few places that this can take time to correct but 9 months is a long time.
Over the past six years, I have developed five white "moles" on my face. I made an appointment with my dermatologist and instead of getting him, they scheduled me with a cosmetic physicians assistant. And of course, the PA said after looking at them, they were just moles and not to worry about them. He did not biopsy them or do any other tests other than looking at them. He said, they could be treated cosmetically.
Hello,
One possibility for your symptoms is a cyst. They may occur anywhere on body but scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.

About 3 months ago I got swollen lymph nodes under my arms, large, around my neck and under my collar bone, both sides and above my elbows, about 4 glands each side above my elbows. I now have a rash on my forehead and sometimes on my arms, which when I scratch turn bright red, like I could scratch my name in. I have a bright red rash around my neck which disappears when i touch it and reappears brighter after. After a shower it is bright red. Could this be lymphoma??

Swollen glads could be a number of different things. Too hard to pin point what it could or could not be based on limited info.
If you ae concernned about it, go to your Dr and get checked out.
