Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes

I have psoriasis on my scslp and a few days ago noticed a swollen lymph node on back of neck at hair line , the next day the back of my head felt swollen and has been having a prickly constant pain. My lymph nodes on both sides of neck are swollen now too and my ear is also starting to hurt a bit, what can this be ?

Hello

It is likely that you are having an infection on your scalp like pyoderma which can cause the lymph nodes to enlarge in the neck. Please meet your skin doctor to confirm this and for prescription of the antibiotics.
Thanks
