did yours ever go away? i have been having sinus problems for about a month now. my head feels the same way all the time. i dont know if it is stress or not since it doesnt seem to go away. ive felt like this for about 3 weeks. its like my skin feels sunburned or something even though i havent been out in the sun. when i raise my eyebrows i can also feel it in my forehead. just wondered if you had any followup.
I think the doctor's assessment, exostosis, is quite likely. However, I can't say for certain, of course. Your symptoms almost certainly represent anxiety. The way to treat them is to eliminate the anxiety. One way would be to consult the physician again about getting a radiologic study to establish the diagnosis with certainty. If the doctor is reluctant, perhaps if you share your anxiety and its symptoms, he or she may permit it. No topical scalp treatment is likely to make any difference--this is in the head, not on it, I think.
Best.
