I went to the doctor because I have this growth on my jaw, which is pale brown and wasn't there when I was younger, and now resembles a pail mole (I have something similar on my back, and chin) but I looked at the rest of my body and found an suspicious mole behind my ear. I checked online and read about lymphoma and the like, and the swollen node is on the same side, but on my neck. It hasn't gone down, and when I went to the county hospital (for the mole, and an abcess) she seemingly ignored anything to do with the lymph node. I was examined for 3 mins. She brought back a dermatologist who said it looked normal but that she'd like to biospy it anyway. I asked about the swollen gland, and she didn't say anything to me, but she said to the derm "I think its viral" but never seemed concerned with it.

all symptoms- swollen node, ear-jaw-muscle-head pain. abcess, and just feeling weak.

meds- antibiotics & Depo

idk what to do, everyone says i'm a hypochondriac.

All these symptoms may or may not be related.

A dermatologist has examined the skin discolouration and said normal, with precautionary biopsy. What are the biopsy results?

An abcess can cause a lymph node in the area to swell as the body tries to clear the infection.

Fatigue could be caused by the body fighting infection or just a bad night's sleep.

Migraines could be totally unrelated to anything else.

Then again you could have some dread disease!

If you are unsatisfied with the diagnosis you were given, get a second opinion. Preferably from someone with medical qualifications rather than strangers on the internet.
