A member asked:
Top of head (skin) sensitive to touch, mildly painful, when touched, rarely feels like numb. what is the reason for this? could it be caused by bruxism, tmj?

How long has you had those symptoms? Brusism or TMJ disorder should not cause that pain.

You may have a skin disorder or a wound on your head. TMJ and bruxism cause pain in joints of Maxilla and Mandible. See a Dermatologist for exam and treatment.
