Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your kind of history of bleaching of hair with a Chat Doctor.  If I were your doctor, I would go a for a general physical examination of yours including the sore of scalp and the lump on the neck, and start a broad spectrum antibiotic for the sore to heal, which might also heal the secondary infection of the lymph node in case. If is persists, or increases, then I would advise you t consult a general surgeon who might advise you for a FNAC or an excision biopsy for a histology test of the lesion for arriving at a diagnosis. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
