A member asked:
I am experiencing scalp tenderness to touch, it is only in one particular area. could it be due to the way i wear my hair or anything else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scalp tenderness: Is it near the ear or temple? Any rash? If so, please see an M.D. sooner rather than later to rule out inflammation or early shingles of the scalp, face. Otherwise, it can be due to injury, pulling hair too tight etc.
