Jaw pain itchiness: You may have an infection in your jaw bone or a bite TMJ issue.

Probably infection: Appears likely to be an infected tooth/teeth. Hard to say without x-rays and exam. Should see a dentist asap. If jaw pops, probably also have a tmj/tmd issue. Be sure to discuss with the dentist when you are seen for the potential infection.

Acupuncture: Janet g. Travell, md, the matriarch of myofascial pain therapy noted in the 50's, that it is not the joint. She stated that any joint area stiffness, noise, aching and tension was due to muscles. So her myofascial therapy protocols are designed to treat issues. Begin a self-care w wellness, vits, magnesium, yoga and stretching. I like acupuncture!

Hard to know: Hard to know from the photo. Have your doc exam you to make sure you don't have an active infection.
