Looks like
Small, scattered nodes in the cheek along the facial vein, from the side of the nose to the jaw.
What it does
Filter lymph from the eyelids, nose, cheek and lips before it reaches the submandibular nodes.
Keeping it well
Swell with skin or dental infections of the face. A lasting lump in the cheek, especially after a skin cancer there, needs checking.
