This lump could just be a cervical lymph node which has increased in size due to your chronic scalp infection. You must consult a dermatologist for your scalp and take treatment for the conditions and watch this lymph node reduce in size. Even then if it d goes not reduce, you need to get a fibre needle aspiration biopsy of this.

This looks most likely like a benign reactive lymph node 👍 Still, a quick consultation will help confirm it and rule out anything else early simple check, complete peace of mind.

The small, mobile, and painless lump you've described in the cervical area (neck) for the last 6 months is highly suggestive of a Reactive Lymph Node. Lymph nodes act as the body's 'filters,' and they frequently swell in response to local skin conditions. In your case, the combination of Scalp Psoriasis (an inflammatory condition) and Lice Infestation (which can cause minor skin breaks and secondary infections) provides a clear clinical trigger for the lymph nodes in the neck to remain chronically reactive or 'shotty.' The absence of fever, weight loss, or night sweats is a very reassuring sign that this is not a malignant process

Small, mobile, painless node for long time + scalp issues → most likely reactive lymph node. Common with lice/psoriasis infections. Not dangerous. Treat scalp problem first, node usually reduces. If growing, hard, or >2 cm → get checked. You can consult me
