What Is The Treatment For Pain In The Forehead?

I ve been having pains in two parts of my forehead, both on my hair line leveled evenly and above each eye brow, they tend to hurt if I apply moderate pressure, but also hurt on their own when I m stressed/frustrated. I ve been having these pains for about three years. I also might have ocd so i dont know if that says anything about my situation. (My friend jokes an says I might be growing horns...)
