Tender spots on head

[JessicaLand]

My pain on my head seems to be more noticeable at times then others but the pain is constant. I have had what I called "soft spots" for a while and they hurt if you touch them. It has just been recently that they have seemed to go from "only certin sections of my head" to the whole top back of my head. Now when I lay in bed with my head on my pillow my head will hurt (more often then not) because of the pressure touching them I guess. I cant afford insurance. What do you think is wrong with my head? Do you think its serious?

I have many of the symptoms above and I spend all day at a computer.  I was actually thinking before I read these comments that the two things were connected (eye stress from looking at a computer all day and these weird sore spots on my scalp).

I'm having the same soreness on the left back side of my scalp for the past few days. Feels like a bruise and only really hurts when I touch it or lay my head down.

I too just recently started having this sore tender spot on the top of my head no headache so to speak just the tender spot. Feels good when I rub it. And now have also been feeling a bit of back aches too. Could they be associated. The scalp thing though is starting to freak me out. So strange, it is tender with a slight burning sensation at times like sun burn I suppose. But it comes and goes. What can it be???

I suspected it was an offshoot of my migraines. I have full aural rare, but stomach more often. But this odd  head thing started about a year after my head injury induced migraines (my luck I was one of few in family that had not inherited the problem..but got it anyway). I have cut my hair very short for relief bit it made no difference really . Though  pony tails and buns make it worse. My only relief is nearly to perforate the pulse points on my scalp with my nails. Pressure  from spot to spot like my old chiropractor used to do but I use the sharp ends of my fingernails. About 5 minutes of  moving along spots will make the skin almost shriek with crawling sensation but then it will dull out and fade. I don't like my head/hair messed with usually or water in my face pre-accident because of my Asperger's.  My mom and middle son  and his cousin are now only  close kin migraine free. I am sure it is triggered by sitting at laptop long periods (thou strong sunlight  also can aggravate it, flourescing lite and monitors  are bigger triggers)

I also have the tender sore spot on the back left side of my head.  After reading through so many of the comments on this same subject, I find it very strange that a lot of us all say that it's in the same area.  Mine comes and goes but is always in that same spot.  Mine hurts even if I don't touch it but because it hurts I rub it often.  It feels like the after effect of being hit with something and being severly bruised.  I've never talked to my doctor about it.  I wouldn't want to even begin going through a bunch of tests.
