Lost All Hair, Have Tickling Feeling Under The Skin Above Forehead. What Is It?

I have no hair, just normal loss, but for the last two weeks, I have been getting feelings in the same place at the front left of my head just above the forehead, it almost feels like when a long hair has blown onto your head and is tickling, but its from under the skin, its not pulsing but there's something not right,

Good health all round, just concerned as to it being under the skin etc, and its happened quite a bit so not just a one off

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

What you are having are simply paraesthesias of skin which means having altered skin sensations.

Now although there is a long list of causes which can lead to such a presentation but since you had a sudden onset just at a single place, I would advise you to simply take some multivitamins with more of cyanocobalamine which acts as a tonic for the nerves for atleast a month. Sometimes simple nerve weakness can be a cause.
If there is on effect, then see a neurologist for the same.

Hope it helps
