Possibly MFPD: If you clench your teeth or even grind(brux) at night when sleeping, the entire side of your head can ache/throb. There are muscles under the scalp that can hurt when pressed like you describe when they are inflamed from this(Temporalis). Dentists are generally good at identifying this(MFPD=myofacial pain dysfunction). It's not a dangerous condition, but depressing and painful.

I have very sore head and the scalp at the top of head feels spongy and painful to touch as well as having headache. The tenderness is just the right side of head and and it feels like fluid under the scalp.
