What Causes Lumps In The Body?

i am a 32 year old female. For the last 6 months or so i have noticed small (pea sized) movable nontender lumps on each side of my collar bone. They seem to move around when pressed. For 2 days now i've had lumps under my jaw line that are movable, about the size of a cherry, nontender, and i can only feel them when i tilt my chin down towards my chest. I'm really freaking out because I've googled alot and came up with cancer and HIV!! I don't have any flu-like symptoms, no diarrhea, no night sweats, no rash, etc. Can you shed any light on this?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having chronic lymphadenitis in supre clavicular and sub mandibular area.
It shows that there might be having some chronic infection in surrounding area like scalp, ear, throat, neck.
Consult your doctor and get examined for having any type of infection.
Ok and take care.
