Can a large pimple on the right side of my forehead cause the lymph node in front of my right ear to swell a bit?

Sure: If you have some type of infection on your head, the lymph nodes start to work overtime trying to relieve the extra effusion hat comes with inflammation of the skin. The lymph node will then swell. It will resolve when the infection is gone. If it continues to swell or starts to become painful however, you should see a physician.
