Infected pimple on face and possible folliculitis on hairline. could this trigger a swollen lymph node? my posterior cervical node is palpable.

Yes: These can cause a swollen lymph node although there are many other causes of swollen lymph nodes. You need to seek advice from a physician either locally or on healthtap. I hope this helps and you feel better soon.
