A member asked:
Enlarged lymph node at right side back of neck soreness of skin below scalp eight days antibiotics not working still..can it be a insect bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your DR.: Enlarged node in neck can occur with any irritation of the scalp, not always infection. The longer it exists and the depth of inflammation the more the lymph node will show.
