Hello,
Scalp tenderness may be due to a local cause like scalp infection, abscess or trauma.
Other causes may be migraine, tension-type headache or temporal arteritis or herpes zoster.
Are you having a headache, vomiting, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, sleep disturbances,
Any stress? Any migraine? You should provide more details. Use of local anesthesia is a short-lasting procedure. If required in cases of tension-type headache botox injection can be given.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
