What Causes Burning/itching On Scalp With Pain Behind Eye?
My husband is having a burning itch on the left side of his scalp & also pain behind his left eye. He feels a burning around & above that eye & can t stand to have either his face or scalp touched on that side. He has also had a headache for the last 3 days which is unusual since he never had headaches. What do you think?

Hi!! According to your history he seems to be developing herpes zoster infection that is shingles. He might come up with blisters in a day or two . You can give him antihistaminic like levocetrizine for itch control and paracetamol tablet for pain for the time being. Once he presents with blisters start with antiviral medication like valcyclovir.
