Recurring Scalp Pain
Hi,
Every once in a while the area on the back top of my head hurts like someone has pulled my hair. I dont have a headache, its just on the scalp and always the same spot. When I press on the area it doesn't hurt but when I touch it lightly it starts to hurt and to move the hair around it is like someone is pulling my hair out. I don't see any redness, haven't hit my head on anything. and I don't put my hair up. What could cause this?
