Lymph Node or Jaw Cancer? YOU DECIDE!?
On the left side of my jaw I have a painful hard lump under the skin. It seems to be the size and shape of a teardrop. I can move it slightly (maybe a cm in each direction). It is not acne- much deeper in the skin.
It has the movement and overall feel of a lymph node (only way smaller and in my jaw). I am currently sick with very swollen nodes.
So.... jaw cancer or lymph node?
Also.. I have a dentist appt April 24th. Should I see the doctor before this?

it's your lymph node. cancer nodules rarely are movable. pain is associated with infection, not cancer.

Neither. It's probably a stone. I have one on the right side between my jaw and tongue.

Neither, sounds like a fat globule has developed. If it doesn't grow and isn't painful, ignore it. I had two like that and they eventually absorbed into my system. Hope you get to feeling better. God bless.
