Noted your short history of highly sensitive area above right ear even the touch causes sharp pain. Such pain even on slight touch is indicative of a nerve entrapment. This can be due to muscle spasm, Neuritis, Local skin problem having granuloma. Stress and anxiety increase such problems. You can consult your Doctor as the medicine such a Amitriptyline are available on prescription alone and you also get a chance to have proper clinical examination and investigations if needed. Your Doctor can assist you the best possible. Avoid stress and anxiety to have relaxed muscle mind and body.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
