Sensitive to touch (head)

2017-06-28 22:12:37
Touching the left side of my forehead results in a sharp shooting pain. The pain is no more than 1 inch long and only pains while I touch it. The pain subsides when I have touched the area 3-4 and then I can feel no pain on touch. This happens in short durations. Other symptoms - Sensitivity to light

Could be scalp hypersensitivity. Stress can cause this. Rarely it could be trigeminal neuralgia.
Health Tips
If pain persists or worsens consult a Neuro Specialist.
