Hi Cosmin and welcome to the forum.

As we're not medically trained we can't tell you what this is I'm afraid but if you're worried about what you've found it may be worth booking an appointment with your doctor as they'll be able to examine you and let you know what they think it may be.

Fingers crossed it isn't anything serious.

All the best,

Hi 

did you you see a gp about it?

thanks. 

Hello ! Thanks for the reply i haven’t asked the gp but i have made some blood tests and some chest xrays during my follow up and nothing came up sometimes i can’t feel it for days after that all of a sudden it apears i have read maybe from the dandruff or some scalp issues may be an I kinda have some dandruff quite a lot and maybe from there thanks ! Have you experienced same or heard something same !? Thanks 

Hi

i have very similar symptoms - enlarged occipital lymph node as I sleep which then reduces in size over the day 

did you ever find out what it was?

No i haven’t find out ! Do you have dandruff ??

Funny you should ask as yes I do a bit plus a bit of an itchy scalp. I've brought some special shampoo, thinking it would do no harm. Been using for a couple of days.

I've just come back from the dentist who could feel the lump after searching for a while, but said it was very small - and the the moment I stood up, it became more pronounced. All very odd.

i am having an ultrasound on it on Thursday though so hopefully will get to the bottom of it - obviously very anxious about it.

Try to relax it.s bot gonna help you being anxious i know it is verry hard but just try ! It is 80% because you have scalp problems like dandruff itchyness etc but anyway please let me knoe about the result ! It.s from the water try to wash yourself with some normal water bot from the tap i mean some that you buy to drink from the shop if you see any improvments after a few weeks then you will know why and the lymph node will dissapear keep me posted pla

Will do and thanks for the tips!

has yours gone then or still there? 

Visited another country with better tap water and dissapeared for a while now came back at this water and the same stress cause it.s a verry important factor and came back and have loads of dandruff...i noticed when i don’t have dandruff i don’t have the lymph node...human body works in so many different ways..

Right now i don’t have anything but tomorrow morning will appear i think
