Can a constantly itchy scalp cause permanently enlarged lymph nodes

I have several palpable lymph nodes in my base of neck posterior triangle supraclavicular area.  I went to a specialist and he explained these are the nodes that the scalp eventually drains into.  I had a fna and core needle of 1 of the palpable lymph nodes.  However I can feel about 3 in each side of neck and they arent very large in fact they might not be enlarged but I can feel them. Since I have skin issues and dandruff from dry skin and itchy scalp can this cause my nodes to be palpable since I have had an itchy scalp for this long?  You cannot see my nodes just feel them when I push my shoulders all the way back.  I also suffer from excema but thats more on my stomach.  Thank you.
