Hello
Thanks for using health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through it in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The tenderness suggests that there is some local inflammation and the same can occur due to infection. There is high chance that there is an infection in your scalp probably an abscess. Thats is the reason for your headache and tenderness over the scalp. The other causes of headache like migraine, tension headache and cluster headache will not cause tenderness.
Hope I am able to help you with your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
