Sore scalp with branches of thick skin

I have been dealing with a scalp condition for approximately 3.5 years now. It started on the right side of the back of my neck and slowly progressed to my scalp where it has stayed. I get shooting pains that start at the top of my scalp and shoot downward to my neck and ears. I have already seeen 5 dermatologists, but they will only look at the scalp. They will not touch it. I have been told that if they cannot see it, it does not exist. I am beside myself as to what to do next. A friend who is an  RN said that it could be neurological. Could somebody suggest a different type of doctor to try to diagnose this? It is driving me totally crazy!

Hi there. This sounds like temporal arteritis which is inflammationand damage to blood vessels that supply the head area especially the large or medium arteries that branch from the neck. the symptoms can be excessive sweating, fever, jaw pain, loss of appetite, muscle aches, throbbing headaches on one side scalp sensitivity tenderness when touching scalp, and vision problems like blurring and double vision. Consult a neurologist for assessment. Take care.
