  There are no pictures to show because it is under the skin.

  hmm to the topic starter i had it when i had chicken pox apparently the chinese believe its cos of heatiness and i think the "real" cuase was inflammation/major immunity activity and thus enlargement of the lymph nodes due to the increased activity
  
  anyway lymph gland/nodes is like the centres for the lymphatic system which is mainly for immunity and defense i think...... me not expert just saying what i think i know though, got doctors around?
