i am feeling localised pain in scalp since last 5 days. this is not persisting for all the time, however feel pain when i press a perticular place (almost center of scalp). the affected area is 3 -4 centimeter. what are the root cause and which type of specialist should i consult
Hi. I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.
Scalp is a very sensitive area & any minor damage or injury to it can cause scalp tenderness.
certain conditions like Migraines, tension headaches, skin conditions like psoriasis, rashes, sunburns, head lice etc can cause scalp irritation and painful.
I advice you to take analgesic, neck massage & stressfree. If there is any signs of folliculities, scalp test is needed. Avoid intense stress & contact with heavy chemicals etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards, Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
