Karina,

First, I would like to welcome you to the neighborhood. I am glad you have found this site but not excited at your reasons why. Hopefully you will not need to hang out here long. The long and short of it...if you have lumps and sores that have persisted over a couple of weeks, you need to get it checked out. The only sure way is to get a biopsy of the swollen tissue or enlarged lymph node. Worrying about it will not go away until you have an actual sample of what is bothering you evaluated under a microscope. You can keep speculating and having the same doctors look at you and feel it over and over but the answer will not change until the detail level of the facts change. Fear will not give you peace of mind and will not properly diagnose the disease or lack of disease in your body. Take the time to find someplace that has the experience to get you the right answer. It sounds from your post that you do not have the level of confidence in the doctors in your area to give you the peace of mind you need. The upside of this is that you don't have to travel far; the downside is that you will worry yourself sick and if your hunch is right it could prove to be deadly. It really is your call and nobody will have your interests at heart like you do and will.
