New sensation on scalp
on left top of scalp several times a day I get a feeling like someone dropped cold water that is running onto the top of my scalp. Is this anything to be concerned with?

Hello,
Such type of sensations can be due to parasthesia skin which are commonly due to nerve conditions and spinal cord conditions. Also other possibilities include diabetes, stroke, multiple sclerosis and underactive thyroid. Abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body and a lack of vitamin B12 can also cause such sensations.
You can take multivitamins for some time. Also get your blood sugar tested.
My opinion is to get yourself examined by a neurologist. After confirmatory diagnosis only, treatment can be started.
