To ask if this is a swollen lymph node?

Yes I should seek medical advice but this is not easily done and in the meantime, I'm not sure if I'm imagining a swelling there or if it is just a middle aged jowl? It's not painful as such but I sometimes get a feeling like pressure in that area and have also wondered if it might be a dental issue.

It's in the wrong place to be a swollen lymph node, they're under you chin but much further back (almost under your ear)

Thanks! I thought they were all along. I’m wondering of a lump is really visible to anyone else.

You do have lymph nodes in that area. Does it feel like a lump or swelling? Is it the same on the other side? How long has it been like that? I’d wait and see if it goes down in 2 weeks if not book a doctors appointment.

Thank you! I can feel it close to the jaw but not below. It isn’t the same on the other side.

Just bumping in case anyone else can take a look.
