Where are the lymph nodes on the back of the neck located?


I need to know exactly where the lymph nodes on the back of the neck are located. I have looked all over the internet for this info but cannot find it. I have a small, swollen, sore, warm spot on the back of my neck but I cannot find where the lymph nodes are located to confirm if this is a lymph node or not. Thanks for the help.

Limp nodes are located all over your body, the time to worry is when you have a swelling of one, my answer would be to see your doctor. What you could have is a cyst, if the area is warm and tender, also if there is swelling involved. Hopefully what you're experiencing is only a cyst and not a swollen lymp node, lymp nodes normally swell when they're infected, and that is something you should check out right away, they can become cancerous if not treated or removed in a reasonable amount of time.

I don't believe there are any lymph nodes in the back of your neck. They are located in the front on both sides of the adam's apple. Maybe what you have is a cyst?They are usually lanced and drained pretty easily.
