head soreness to the touch

60 yr old female- past 2 weeks i've been experiencing a sore head. the location is the left side above my ear.. I wear glasses and the area that is sore to the touch is right above where the ear piece rests and seems to be about a 2 x 1 inch area.  It is sore to a gentle touch, but if i push hard on the same area, it doesn't hurt.  Ideas?

no, not at the temple, lower and directly above the top of my left ear. seems more sensitive if I brush against it with my finger tips then if I push directly on it.
