Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
This is an enlarged lymphnode.
Possiblity of having some scalp infection like seboherrhoic dematitis. lice infestation or frunculosis.
Regular antidandruff shampoo like (kitoconazole) will help her.
Not a serious problem, not much to worry.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
