What Could Cause Itchy Scalp Followed By Sore Lumps On Inside Of Back Of Neck?
I noticed itchiness all over my scalp a few days ago and the next morning, I woke up with lumps on the inside of the back of my neck that were sore. I feel like they may be lymph nodes that are swollen, but they hurt and I feel like there are more than just one on each side. It feels like there are several of them.

yes, you are correct!
these could easily be lymph nodes and they are usually painful when enlarged suddenly!
these are possibly due to scalp infection and not to worry as they will go away as soon as the scalp is free of infections like dandruff or viral infections!
all the best!
