Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

You have described the condition causing your headache very nicely. I am almost sure that you have either a tension headache, or a scalp irritation. I however wish you had described the headache a little more as to when it starts how long it remains, the exact locstion of the headache, and other associated features. That would have helped me pinpoint the diagnosis more accurately.

For your tension headache, I would suggest a relaxation technique like yoga meditation etc. There are medicines, but if the techniques work, we can avoid the intake of a medicine

For scalp sunburn, unfortunately we will have to wait for the scalp to heal. Just try to saty in cool environment and make sure your scalp remains clean

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
