What Does Pain On The Scalp Indicate?

The last 2 days I ve been experiencing dull pain on my scalp only on one side of my head and partially along my face. My skin is tender to touch in those areas and lately the mild pain has been increasing in strength and become a throbbing sensation. I haven t injured myself or eaten anything different. cindy

Hello,

It can be due to a migraine if it's throbbing and associated with nausea. You might have a tension headache if it is not that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
