Hello, i have a painful swollen occipital lymph node on my left side.  I have had a flare up of psoriasis on my scalp, could this cause the pain and swelling in the lymph node?  I am also getting a tingling from the lymph node up my scalp almost to the top of my head.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The occipital node would enlarge in response to the flare up of the psoriasis. Lymph nodes are located in different parts of the body, and they respond to inflammation and infection in these sites. Normally when the associated infection or inflammation resolves the swelling of the lymph would also go down. It can sometimes take up to 6 weeks for complete resolution. I hope this helps
