I'm having paresthesia in some parts of my head (it feels only at the skin of my head) . mostly it feels above the left ear,should i consult a doctor?

Yes,it could be neck: Sometimes a pain in the neck, better referred to as a pinched nerve, degenerative disc disease or cervical radiculopathy can cause paresthesias in the head. However, there could be a neurological basis as well and thus you should check with a Neurologist to make sure.
