Swollen Lymph Node?

I am a male and in December I had two encounters with other males.  I performed oral on another male sometime in the middle of month.  Last week of the month I received oral from another male.  Both lasted about ten minutes.  First week in January I noticed bumps on genitals and got tested.  Nurse thought bumps were herpes but three weeks they were still there and hadn't changed so I went to another clinic where nurse said it wasn't anything to worry about.  She said one looked like molluscum.  I asked if I should see a doctor and she said I would be okay and bumps will go away on their own.  After a month of having bumps on genitals they are still there but im worried because this morning I noticed a lump under my ear, which I believe to be a swollen lymph node but not too sure.  Should I be concerned?

Thanks for your responses. I was tested at the beginning of the month and it came back negative.  I plan on going back after three months for reassurance. I am still concerned about this lump that I believe to be a swollen lymph node. I am going to monitor it for a few days and see what happens before I determine to get it checked out.
