I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've noticed a lump next to my right nipple that moves around and is slightly painful. I've had similar lumps on my thighs before. About ten months ago, I had a chest CT scan after having COVID, and everything was clear. Could this lump be dangerous?

My lymph nodes are swollen and seem to be spreading everywhere is there any alternative treatment besides surgery that could help? I'm really worried about this and looking for options

Swollen lymph nodes that seem to be "spreading everywhere" could indicate an infection, a response to a foreign substance, or even cancer, but it's crucial to get a diagnosis from a doctor. While some cases of swollen lymph nodes may resolve on their own, and some can be treated with medications, surgery is not always the first or only treatment option. If you're concerned about your swollen lymph nodes, it's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment
