Hi,
The swollen lymph nodes have many causes such as: infection and hidden malignancy. So, you should see an immunologist for physical examination and detailed investigations. The physical examination is important, because the infection in the scalp can cause swollen lymph nodes. You can do an CT Brain to exclude a focal brain lesion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
