A member asked:

Hi, i have a tingling and numbness sensation that started in my forehead and spread to part of my scalp!what are the possible causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scalp numbness: Let your doctor know, you may need to have your temporal artery checked, it goes along the temple and may cause headaches too. This needs a doctor evaluation..
