What Causes Scalp Tenderness Post Head Injury?
Question: I hit my head last night did not loose consciousness or vomit pupils are not dilated. I just feel pressure in my head like a sinus infection no pain. It only hurts where I hit it when I touch it.
Brief Answer:
Small contusion on your scalp
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You hit your head last night and since then you have tenderness of your scalp. Since you have no loss of consciousness or vomiting or other signs of concussion I think you just bruised your scalp. This will naturally resolve in a few days and should not be of concern for you.
