Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
These nodes are probably lymph nodes or lipomas and both are benign conditions and you should not worry. It may enlarge due to any infection of the skin or anywhere in your body. If there is no pain, redness pus secretion or fever associated with it,then there is no need to bee concerned. If there will be growth progression or redness, you should do ultrasound with needle aspiration to identify the right causes. Cancer is of course the last thing to think of especially in your age.
I hope I have answered you query
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
