Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It looks like pyoderma of scalp , but fungal infection of scalp needs to be ruled out . Lymphadenopathy is secondary to infection that will resolve with time once the infection is under control.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing your son good health.
