What Are The Two Small Lumps In My Neck Below My Chin?

Lymph nodes
I have two small lumps in my neck below my chin . they have just recently come up . I have heard these could be lymph nodes which can be linked to HIV / aids. I have been paranoid about being pin pricked in the back of my arm when I have out in the clubs (does this happen) . I have also gone quite skinny in my arms and stomach. I am really upset and scared about this and need too know what it is . something is not right .

Hi.The simplest way is to go for a blood test.
Why do you want to wait.
Blood tests will give you the correct diagnosis.
Mere suspicion does not help.

The lymph nodes at the chin are a common problem and you can go for an FNAC if the course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for 7 days do not help to resolve them.
