Tender spots on head

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 really think you are right because my life has been so full of stress lately and the more upset I get the worst I have the little sore tender spots. They hurt so bad. I can't even pull my hair up when I have them.

Thank you! Ive only had this sore scalp thing for a few days and I know I need a root canal. I have a tooth that reacts to both cold and hot and feels "dead".  I'm in Asia, but plan to get it done when I get back to the US in a couple weeks. I guess I could have it done here in Taiwan if needed.

If I were you I'd be heading off to the doctor. Especially if you keep vomiting or if the pain gets worse.

I have gotten these for years. I suffer from a whole variety of symptoms and deal with fatigue like you wouldn't believe but I will say to everyone the one thing I noticed that keeps the scalp pain away is stop using shampoo and use only unscented Dial soap. The white antibacterial kind to shampoo your hair. Nothing else. If you need conditioner use it only on ends and only all natural kind with no sulfates! Try it and see what happens!

well done ! thank you for your time , reading this article has been a relief as I have spent a year trying to find the answers, I have cervical disc disease/osteoarthritis/
degenerative disc disease/gout/ three lower back protruding discs/ two slightly damaged neck discs/ painful helix ear lobes/ painful head points / painful ends of ribs/  and muscles locked up so tight my sports massager says they feel like bone.
The medics give you stronger pain relief medication and tell you to exercise of which i do . They dont tell you anything else. thank god for the net and you people.
some days i'm so tired i can hardly speak. i love my job in engineering but it is getting harder . i'm only 47 female.health weight. and eat well. if some one give us a task we try our utmost to solve it , i wish the medics would treat us the same. has anyone tried this new antibiotic treatment for a year test ? all the best to you all . cant type sorry !

Hi, do you know by any chance what the tea was called or what was in it? I have had this for almost an entire year and I actually took fluconazole for a yeast infection i felt coming on a few days ago. Next morning no headache. Morning after no headache. I thought maybe i had toxic levels of candida in my bloodstream. Nope, headache back today :(
