Lymph nodes are like local protection/police station for given organs. The nodes behind ears and back of neck are generally related to scalp.
If you’re suffering from dandruff or skin issues of scalp they are enlarged.
Also the FNAC report says reactive, which means secondary to infection and nothing worrisome right now.
But definitely needs checking on the primary organ the scalp. If thats done, nodes will resolve by themselves.
Next Steps
Meet a skin specialist and get treatment
Health Tips
1. Avoid scratching scalp
2. Also dont keep checking nodes, they take weeks to reduce in size after primary problems are solved
