What Causes Lump Increasing In Size And Tenderness And Rash Over Neck?

I am a 24 year old female, in no acute distress, 5'2", and 145lbs. I have a 1cm spongy lump my pcp has identified as left cervical lymphadenopathy times 3 years. I have noticed increased size and tenderness times one week with an occasional rash developing under my chin, all over my neck and chest when my neck is held in a position that tightens my neck. I am very tired and have night sweats but no weight loss. I have recently suffered a miscarriage.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have enlarged cervical lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
