Suggest Treatment For Sensitive Spots On Scalp With Headaches

Complicated migraine vs Trigeminal neuralgia
Detailed Answer:
Hello
There are two simple differentials for your problem
1. It could be complicated migraine causing sensory symptoms that is your sensitive scalp
2. Trigeminal neuralgia ( the major supplier of the scalp area)
Here is what you should do
1. Get an MRI brain to look for trigeminal nerve compression
2. MRI spine to see the compression of the second cervial nerve as this supplies the posterior half of the scalp
Once you rule these both out then we are sure that it is the migraine itself causing this. The ideal drug that I would prescribe to my patients would be Tab Tryptomer once at night for a month along with naproxen for acute headaches.
I hope I was of help and I have added clarity to your problem. If you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
