should I see my doctor about this?

I have a localized spot on the top of my head, that is really sore. It started a couple days ago, and has since got larger and more sore. It typically only hurts when I make certain facial expressions that tightens my scalp, touch it, or move my hair in that area in any way. It's almost like it bruised, and sometimes feels like it irritated even when I'm not bothering it. I don't have any discoloration on my scalp, no bumps, nothing unusual. I haven't hit my head, I don't wear my hair up (my hair is short).. I can't think of anything that could be causing this. Should I see my doctor about this? Could it be something serious?

Thank you both, for your replies. I have not gone to my doctor, because wanted to give it a couple of days. But, today I woke up and it feels a lot better. There is still a tiny bit of soreness, but it has definitely improved a lot.

You may have been bitten by an insect.  Painful spots typically don't show up out of nowhere.  You may have a friend look at it so we can gather more info.
At the moment don't feel a Dr is necessary at this point.  The tightness and pain when making facial expressions could be happening with slight inward swelling.  
I would give it a couple of days, unless new symptoms pop up.
Be well

Yes, see your doctor, it could be an ingrown hair, sebaceous cyst or a host of other things, it is always a good idea to have things like this checked.
