Question : I had a flu shot this Tuesday. For the past few days I have a twitch and an itch in my left eyebrow, an itchy sunburnt feeling on my left forehead and scalp along with some pain when I touch my hair on top of the left side of my head. Could this be a side effect of the flu shot or something I need be concerned about?
Thanks,
Hewitt

Doesn’t seem to be flu shot side effect, herpes zoster or migraine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it doesn’t seem to be a side effect of flu shot.
Instead it seems to be prodromal symptoms of herpes zoster or migraine.
You can consult a doctor and go for a clinical examination.
