Infection: Swollen occipital lymph nodes can be an immune response to an infection in your sinuses, throat, ear or eye. The itchy scalp may be unrelated and caused by a fungal infection. Talk to your GP about any additional symptoms that could be related to infection, and use an over the counter shampoo containing selenium sulfide for the itchy scalp.
