General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Scalp tenderness may be due to local cause like scalp infection, abscess or trauma. Other causes may be migraine, tension-type headache or temporal arteritis or herpes zoster.

Are you having a headache, vomiting, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, sleep disturbances?

If yes, then certain neurological issues may be present and you should do a CT scan or MRI.

Use of local anesthesia is a short-lasting procedure. If required in cases of tension-type headache botox injection can be given.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
