Wanted to update. I saw my dermatologist yesterday afternoon and he thinks it's nothing to worry about. In his opinon it's a salivary gland and not a lymph node and either way he says it doesn't feel like something that would warrent further investigation. He said it felt soft and not hard and firm like something that would be suspicious.

He said to keep an eye on it and to check in again if I notice changes or it does not go away.

Thanks so much for the reply Elaine. I took your advice and called my dermatologist. I  have an appointment tomorrow and that kind of freaks me out! It normally takes several weeks to get in to see him. I'll look on the bright side and assume the reason I was on hold for so long was because the person with the 4:!5 appointment was calling to cancel and they slid me right in!

I'll update tomorrow to let you know what he advises.
