Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
The swellings in the site mentioned by you could be inflamed lymph nodes due to any wound or infection in the scalp, or ear/regions of face. Also, it is commonly found in lice infestation of the scalp hair. I would suggest you to get yourself physically examined by your family physician/surgeon who could plan the treatment accordingly.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
