[|Human|] A quarter-sized bumpy red patch appeared on my jawline 5 days ago and lymph nodes began swelling down the same side of my neck, along with a swollen salivary node and another on the back of my neck. The patch was painless and didn t change shape or size since it appeared but today has begun to itch and peel. I m unsure if I need to be seen for this? I haven t changed any deodorants or detergents recently, have not been bitten by any bug that I aware of, but did begin 2 new antibiotics for an infection the day before the patch appeared.
[|AI|]  Hi.welcome to Chat Doctor. This is Chat Doctor.  I understand your concern. From the details you provided it appears to be infectious in origin. Following can be the done. First you need to see your physician. Go for blood test especially blood cell which will guide what kind infection it is. It can be mumps that is viral infection of salivary gland. It is self limiting and needs symptomatic treatment. If there are signs of pus formation than it should be aspired and send for culture and sensitivity test. This will tell you infective bacteria and
