Can the lymph nodes in the neck be scraped?

People will have some diseases in their lives to a greater or lesser extent, and scraping is a method that people often use to maintain themselves. Many people want to know whether scraping will affect their condition when they have lymph nodes. Some patients with lymph nodes on their neck do not know whether scraping can be beneficial to their condition. So, can the neck lymph nodes be scraped?

First, can the neck lymph be scraped? Before doing lymphatic detoxification acupressure, you must be familiar with the flow direction of lymph fluid and the location of lymph nodes. The key point of the operation is to guide the lymph fluid to the vicinity of the lymph node clustering area, and then let go. Do not push back and forth, but proceed in a single direction. The lymph nodes are located in groups as follows: calf lymph nodes behind the knee; inguinal lymph nodes in the groin; axillary lymph nodes in the armpit; supraclavicular lymph nodes on the inside of the elbow; clavicular lymph nodes below the clavicle; deep and superficial lymph nodes in the neck; mandibular lymph nodes on the lower edge of the mandible; anterior auricular and postauricular lymph nodes in front of and behind the ear. When performing this exercise, the movement frequency should be slow and consistent, not too fast, and the force should not be too heavy. The superficial lymphatic vessels are distributed in the skin, and gentle movements can help the flow of lymph.

Second, swollen lymph nodes in the neck are usually caused by inflammation. They will disappear on their own after the inflammation subsides, but in a few cases they may not disappear. It is not recommended to do scraping on the area with large lymph nodes in the neck, as it will irritate the swollen lymph nodes and make it difficult for them to subside. Other parts of the body can be scraped without affecting the lymph nodes.
