[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The history suggest most possible cause could be enlarged lymph nodes at first place followed by glandular lesions and finally vascular cause.2. If you are my patient I would have examined the lump / lesions and ask for an ultrasound examination.3. Ultrasound will help to evaluate the nature of the lesion, its source and where all it is extended.4. If necessary needle sample might be needed. Never press or scratch the lesion - it will only increase the lump and possible infections.5. Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in case of localized / systemic infection / inflammation. If you are aware of any - treat the cause.6. So get an appointment and get needful investigations and treatment done. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
