What Causes Pain In Scalp And A Lump On The Forehead?
My scalp and forehead on my left side are very painful to touch. It is a sharp pain. I ve now noticed a slight swelling in one spot on my scalp and a small llump on my forehead. Pushing my hair away is painful. I am wondering if it is trigeminal neuraligia. I don t want to jump the gun and head right off to a neurologist. It s been going on for a few days and is definately getting more painful.

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of trigeminal neuralgia. Anyway, the swelling and the small lump could be related to inflammation. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a brain MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
