No generally many people have few palpable lymph nodes in different areas of their body. 1cm is an average cut off measurement except a few areas like groin where upto 1.5cm is normal.
There is nothing to get tensed about a palpable lymph node. Keep an eye for other signs like hard, painful, fixed, rapidly increasing in size, multiple matted lymph nodes, significant weight loss, long duration fever- in these cases consultation with a physician is preferable.
