What Causes Swollen Lymph Node And A Bump Above It?
I have a swollen lymph node on my upper backside of my neck about the size of a pea. the doctor told me not to worry about it, now i have a small bead-like bump above it? It literally feels like a bead in my neck. Do you know what that might be? Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The newer one can be a sebaceous cyst or a connected lymph node. The previous one as you say can be a lymph node.
The Doctor told you so as the lymph nodes bellow 1 cm size are not very significant and if you are still worried can be subjected to Fine needle aspiration cytology- a simle OPD procedure.
The causes are usually i n the scalp like dandreffs and so on , So nothing to worry much .
