A member asked:
I have a lump on my neck and also one on my scalp, which is bigger and itchy. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scalp infection: is likely. The bigger lesion on the scalp is likely stimulating a lymph node in the neck. Treatment with antibiotics (bacterial vs. fungal) will likely take care of both.
