A member asked:
What can cause fixed pain in few specific spots of the scalp/skull when pressing with fingers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If there are no rash or scalp lesions, minor irritation/ inflammation of hair follicles is a common cause of tenderness in some spots of the scalp. Chronic scalp muscle tension would cause more diffuse tenderness.
