I am experiencing a burning/stinging sensation that travels up the side of my face to the top of my head on the left side. what could this be?

Nerve: Sounds like the first branch of the fifth cranial nerve which exits your skull just in front of your ear. Go see your doc and if he can't help see a good neurologist. Good luck!
