What Causes Numbness And Tingling On Center Of Head?

Starting yesterday I have had a very strange sensation on the very top, center of my head. There is a spot that feels as if it s pulsing, right beneath the scalp. If I scratch it, or rub it, it tingles and feels numb. (No pain) Is this some sort of scalp/skin issue, or soemthing more serious? (I m 37 yo female, 5 6 , no recent head trauma; first migraine about a month ago; Hashimotos; recent bout of inflamation in the retina of my left eye)

Hello,

It may be due to pressure point or due to migrainous head ache or neuropathy. Local site infection or dermatitis etc. Use tablet pregabalin m 75 mg once a day. If no improvement please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
