The pretty much only way to investigate the problem with a lymph node is to remove it and then have it examined by a pathologist. If you are this upset, you can also go to a plastic surgeon to remove this problem lymph node. If the pathologist’s opinion returns normal, you could contact a psychiatrist to help you to overcome the general anxiety you have concerning your health.
