Whenever i eat candies such as skittles and starburst, or any other tart fruit candy, my scalp gets really warm and the top of my head gets damp.

HMMMM,...: That is peculiar, but maybe the sugar content of those candies is causing a surge/spike in your glucose levels and that may cause the tingling and sweatiness. See your Dr. and get an evaluation and some lab work. Best wishes.
