I doubt it is scar tissue, since it moves a little when I rub it, it is too soft, and on the LEFT side, along the jaw bone, midway between my chin and edge of the jaw.
It IS small, and tender, which when I first had the node involved with SCC on the RIGHT side, it was HUGE, HARD, NON-TENDER and FIXED.
I'm hoping this is just a reactive node, but the fear is crippling.
