A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meningioma: No need to worry. Stimulating nerves in the mouth can be referred to the scalp and the scar in the back of your head just like eating ice cream can cause a 'brain freeze'. If the symptoms persist or worsen then see your neurosurgeon for an injection of the scar tissue to relieve the pain.
