Head Ache, Have Cold Sores, Scalp And Bone Pain. Have Herpes. What Is Going On?
I have herpes (coldsores) and lately I have had a pain on the right side of my head. It isn t actually a headache ,more as if the bone or scalp hurts as if I had been kicked in the head. The pain also presents occassionally on the lower right towards the back of my head. I am wondering what the pain on my head can be caused from. I am an overweight , 52 year old female.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Herpes is an infection of nerves so it can cause pain,
Although pain is not commonly seen as the lesions are localised.
Take analgesics and see if it comes down,
also you can try gabapantene.
Please meet a dermatologist if the lesions increase
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
