A member asked:
Yesterday i hit my head quite hard since i have been very tender just behind/above my ear. tender to touch, hurt when moving eyebrows. should i worry?

No: The muscles of the face, "scalp" are under this area. You are likely feeling it when you move the eyebrows which is elevating the epcranius and the temporal muscles which sit adjacent to each other. Should get better with rest and time!
