What Causes Headache Upon Touching A Soft Spot On The Head?
I have a 48 year old female friend who has noticed a soft spot on the back of her head. It hurts when touched Sand she has a bad headache,which is very unusual for her. The headache started in the last hour. She had a head injury many? years ago, but this problem just came up. Can you help. Thanks.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI brain to rule out possible intracranial (inside the brain) causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
