A member asked:

Hist of occipital headaches, parasthesias. today woke w/tender zit about 1 inch below inion. touching it makes headache + neuro sx flare. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tender, spasm: My guess is that the zit causes local tenderness & even muscle spasm in the muscles of the back of the neck & shoulder in sensitive persons. Be sure the zit itself is limited in size & depth, to the superficial skin only, & improving. If not, then do get checked. Hope that helps.
