Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some scalp infection like fungal infection or dermatitis giving rise irritation, itching and some bacterial infection leading to lesion on the scalp and enlarged lymph nodes.
Take head bath daily.
Apply antiseptic lotion over the part.
Go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Go for treatment of dandruff or fungal infection if it is there.
Ok and take care.
