What Causes Big Lumps All Over The Body?

Hi My name is Daniel! I am 30 years old! I live in Brazil! I have been diagnozed with Dengue on Thursday (just based symptoms and very low platelets ) and yesterday they discovered I have chickenpox. (no joke) I had a horrible chicken eruption yesterday, I also felt some big lumps under my skin in the neck area. Should I expect the worst? (I can provide more details). It s not clear whether it is only chickenpox or a combination of both. Thank you!

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Niether Dengue nor Chicken pox causes big lumps under the skin over neck area.

Sometimes associated with chicken pox ( which is a viral infection ), there occurs additional bacterial infection of either the skin lesions or the throat.

This bacterial infection of the throat can cause enlargement of glands in the throat region. These glands are called Lymph nodes and it is these enlarged Lymph nodes that you are noticing as big lumps.

There is no need to worry but you need to meet your doctor and get a prescription for Antibiotics for the enlarged lymph nodes .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
