Wondering

[Vmp]

I have a very dry patch in my scalp on my left side. That i itch constantly .I noticed when rubbing my neck I have a movable painless lump- possible swollen lymph node- I don't think any other nodes are swollen but I can't tell. You can not see the lump- however when I tilt my head to my right side - you can see a tiny bump. It's been there for over a month

I am not faituged .... I am losing weigh but it's my pregnancy weigh since I had a child 3 months ago - I still have an appaitite and eat well- I get hot at night and sometimes sweat not soaking at all  but it can be from just giving birth and hormones...

Could this be a sign of cancer.?

No no tooth problem to my knowledge - just the very  itchy scalp that looks like psoriasis -

Thank you :)

Glad to be of some help. Yours is likely what is called a "reactive" node. It is swollen from doing it's job as a lymph node. Did you happen to have any tooth problem on that side?

Also, sometimes a swollen node just doesn't go down

Congratulations on the new baby.

Thank you Ken for your response.

Hi. As always, anything is possible but in your case, it's likely not cancer.

Anyone?
