Brief Answer:
Take medications for pain relief
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
It will be good if you upload the image of lesion over forehead.
The possibilities may be folliculitis, seborrheic dermatitis, temporal arteritis.
For pain you can take gabapentin or amitriptyline which modulates pain sensitivity and also help in sleep.
Short duration pain killers like diclofenac, naproxen or etoricoxib can be taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back with photos.
