A member asked:
My husband is having severe scalp pain. he has no hair and just the slightedt touch almost puts him in tears. what could be causing this to happen.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shingles, infection: If the pain is localized to one side of the scalp, it could be shingles. If it is generalized it could be a bacterial infection. You don't specify how long this has been going on, but any severe pain, particularly in the head and neck area, should be addressed promptly. See your doctor asap.
