The symptom could also be due to Occipital neuralgia, Tension type headache, Brain tumour, Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, Herpes zoster, Cellulitis . Tests that may be used to evaluate scalp pain are- Complete blood count, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Skin biopsy, Trials of medications known to affect scalp pain,  Lumbar puncture, CT scanning of the brain, MRI scan of the brain. Please consult a neurologist  for examination, investigations and diagnosis.  Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
