There is a bag inside my neck that slides around, it looks scary

If a lump grows on your body, you may not be too scared and think that it will be fine if you buy some medicine. However, if a lump grows and it moves, especially around the neck, it is very scary. What is going on? Let me explain to you in detail what is going on.

The lumps palpated on the neck are currently cervical lymph nodes. I don't know the specific size, mobility, and pain of the lumps you palpated. Under normal circumstances, there can be small lymph nodes in the neck.

Lymphadenitis often occurs secondary to other infectious lesions, mostly in the neck, submandibular, axilla and groin. The pathogens are mostly Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus.

If acute lymphangitis continues to spread to local lymph nodes, or purulent lesions spread to the lymph nodes in the region through lymphatic vessels, it can cause acute lymphadenitis. For example, infections of the upper limbs, breasts, chest wall, back and abdominal wall above the navel can cause axillary lymphadenitis; infections of the lower limbs, abdominal wall below the navel, perineum and buttocks can cause inguinal lymphadenitis; infections of the head, face, oral cavity, neck and shoulders can cause submandibular and cervical lymphadenitis. The pathogens of acute lymphangitis and acute lymphadenitis are often Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococci.

Key Features

It is a lymphatic organ that the lymphatic vessels continuously pass through during their centripetal journey. It is a gray-red, oblate or elliptical body of varying sizes, about 2 to 25 mm in diameter, soft in texture and gray-red in color. There are several afferent lymphatic vessels entering the convex side, while the concave side is called the lymph node hilum, with 1 to 2 efferent lymphatic vessels, blood vessels and nerves entering and exiting. There are more than 800 lymph nodes in the body.

Lymph nodes often gather in groups, and can also be divided into superficial and deep groups. They are mostly distributed along blood vessels and are located in areas with more activity on the flexor side of the body. In the limbs, lymph nodes are mostly located on the flexor side of the joints; in the body cavity, they are mostly arranged along the vascular trunks or located near the organ gates. The lymph nodes in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis are mostly located around the visceral hilum and large blood vessels.

The lymph from a certain organ or part of the human body drains to certain lymph nodes, which are called local lymph nodes of that organ or part.
