HI . This is one of the most common concerns seen on this forum. These are lymph nodes and are due to infection of the scalp, even a minor trauma can cause this.
These are usually self limiting and may occasional need treatment. If you are still worried , you can go for FNAC test ( fine needle Aspiration cytology done by pathologist. )
