What Are The Lumps Under The Neck?

Hi I am a 48yr old female a few days ago as I prepared for a trip to Germany I notice what appeared to be a bug bite on the right side of my neck in the lower crease line. A few hrs later there were more small itchy bumps in the crease. I thought heat rash but I now have a few more behind my right ear. As i palpate my neck I notice a few lumps under the skin on my neck. I think limp nodes maybe swollen. Any idea

Hi. Thanks for the query. As i understand, you have developed a localised reaction to the bug bite. You need not worry about them as they will disappear in a few days. Though you can take pain killers if you have pain. And as you guessed it right, the lump in the neck are lymph nodes which have got inflammed and they too will subside without treatment. But do consult a doctor if the swelling persists for a longer period.
