Does an enlarged/swollen lymph node hurt when touched?

Occipital lymph nodes.?

• Yesterday I realized something in the back of my head because it was hurting a lot. It was sort of like a pimple type of thing. At night my step mom took it out and it was bleeding a lot, but then a few minutes later something started hurting, but it was in a different location of my head and when I touched it I felt a small ball on the inside and it hurt a lot, so this morning I did some research and came to the conclusion that it may be a swollen occipital lymph node because it may have gotten infected, but I'm not sure. If you think it is, what could this mean or what can it cause.? and if it's not, then what could it be.?

  Not knowing your age or anything about you, I would guess it's calcium build up. If it is, no worries but get it checked out
