A member asked:
Been having twitching, right side of head above ear, been noticing it everyday, cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is something called a benign fasciculation (twitch). These are harmless though irritating and can be brought on by fatigue or anxiety, though more often than not, they occur spontaneously - "out of the blue". They generally come and go and can show up in various parts of the body, e.g. eyelid, thigh, calf.
