Question: Hello!

I have been picking and scratching danderuff and extremely much for 1-2 days on the scalp and head. Especially on the sides of head, near the ear area, horizontal with the eyes in that area. I have suffered from something very disturbing. I feel constant pressure around the area on the left side of head. It feels like someone is pinching me. And it feels in waves and pulses and somethimes its random and more pain. Somethimes I feel more and somethimes less. I have had this for a 10 days now. And I think the symptoms feels stronger/more for every day.
I think I get more pain if I exercise or is active.

One day I did hold a cold pack on the area for 20 minutes. After my cheek felt really weird. I felt numbness in cheek. After about 1-3 min it did go away.

It feels like something is happening inside my head, like the head is working on something. Maybe to heal?

I feel REALLY bad over what I have caused and this is a BIG problem in my life and it is very disturbing and unpleasure, I cant live with this.

When I picked my scalp I got anxiety over it because I thought I can damage my brain. The anxiety feels in my body, I get very varm. I have been picking my scalp before in life but this time I did it so intense.

So as a person im a little hypochondriacs. And I can get anxiety over things especially if its about my health. As a person i also like being a perfectionist of things I do in life. Im trying always to be calm person because I know stress isnt good. But when as a hypocondriac and anxious person I might get inner stress from that.

When I wake up, I almost dont feel anything at all. After about 30 min I start to feel more and it gradually increaing in strenght over the day and after I have reached a point where it feels same.I have this pulsing pressure the whole day until I sleep. The pressure is at left side of head at the temple area. It is unpleasure and little pain. I feel I wouldnt need painkillers for this.
My head and forhead feels strained like I cant relax those muscles. But maybe it is supposed to feel like that.

Now it has been 10 days, day First 3-6 days I didnt almost feel anything. After that I started to feel this pinching and waves of pressure. Its gradually increasing as you can hear.

Yesterday I felt more unpleasure pain when I did strained myself doing some activity, so I think I feel it more if im doing exercice.

Today when I woke up, soon enought I started to feel cold blood flowing in the RIGHT side of head. This lasted for about 1-2 min and it was constant. And after I still got it at random times but not constant.
Also im feeling random tingeling in head all over at randoms times. Doesnt happend that often.
So right now im really worried. Might go to emergency room later in the day.


1. What is this?

2. Im terrified that this is permanent. Could that be possible?
For me it would feel really good if you said that the healthcare can fix this in some way or another. Im afraid doctors cant find out.

3. Do you have any questions?
I will answer as soon as possible.

4. Tension Headaches?
5. Migraine?
6. Questons?

Thanks in advance!
