Brief Answer:
Enlarged lymph nodes most probably.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for the query.

In this area the most probable reason of such swelling is due to enlarged lymph nodes. The reason of such enlargement can be infection or lymphoma. To evaluate further, I'd suggest you to consult your doctor and have an ultrasound done of this area.

You can also upload/attach a photo/image of the area here to the reports section so that I can take a look into it further...

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
