A member asked:

What could cause severe scalp burning sensation pain to the touch on right side of head nerve pain in right ear and still neck. shingle is ruled out.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neuralgia: I would wonder how early shingles was ruled out? Early shingles does not leave any objective physical findings... Glosssopharyngeal neuralgia is uncommon and usually has a component within the throat as well. Would see a neurologist to evaluate a deeper understanding of the situation.
