A member asked:

I have always had spots on my head (upper right side) which hurt a lot to touch, are they something i should worry about?

Unknown: Without seeing the spot it is impossible to know if you should worry. Your age alone speaks against too much worry. Perhaps you can post an image?

See your doctor: You have muscles under your scalp that can become inflammed, tender and sore just like other areas in your body. In fibromyalgia, these tender points are located near joints, buttocks, upper back ; neck. You should see your dr. For an evaluation. Meds such as Cymbalta ; Lyrica (pregabalin) can help. Try stretching, exercise, massage, mindfulness ; other relaxation techniques to lower stress ; anxiety.
