What Causes Lumps On Head?

I have a 5 year olfd, and in the past 2 days he has had several large lumps appear on his head. He has had no falls or injuries to explain the sudden apperance. His lymph nodes behind he ears are also swollen and visible to the eyes as well. This is the 2nd time this has happened within the past year. Does anyone know what this could be, or what is causing this?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having folliculitis on scalp skin producing bumps and enlrged post auricular lymph nodes.
Rule out possibility of having fungal infection, dermatitis.
Consult dermatologist and get examined.
Give him regular head bath and keep his scalp clean.
Ok and take care.
