Hello, I just joined this forum and wish to comment on the "top of head" issues!
I've had a painful area on the top of my head, sort of to the left and back. I thought maybe I bumped it
and didn't remember. Worse yet my hair is fine, thin, rather gray and I'm guilty of not always wearing a hat.
I was thinking maybe because it is so sore, I'm getting something from sun exposure. My dad was bald and
had several areas of skin cancer.
I called my older sister saying I was very worried and she said, you know I had that years ago when I went
to Dr. Lanoff and he told me there are nerve endings in the top of your head that can get stressed for various
reasons, he gave her antihistamine. This is a long story, sorry.
I got my hair cut today and I asked her to look at the top of my head. She's looking and says this is so strange.
I said don't tell me I have red spots. She said no, you are the 3rd person in 2 days complaining of pain in the same
spot and there is nothing. One lady is going to the dermatologist because she is so worried. I told her what my
sisters allergist said about nerve endings and this can be triggered by sinus congestion, various things.
I'm not telling someone to ignore pain, or not go to the doctor but he did tell her leave it alone, stop pressing
or touching it. I'm just going to wait it out for awhile and see if it gets better.
