Localized tenderness in scalp

Asked for Male, 54 years

I am suffering from localized tenderness in scalp. I also have left thigh numbness. My doctor diagnosed mild meralgia paresthetica. He prescribed Lyrica 75mg, but I did not take due to dizziness and drowsiness. Ihave pain under the skin of the scalp. My glucose level in fasting and random are 75 and 105. My all tests are normal. cholesterol is 200 and vitamin B12 is 180. I had only one episode of migraine. I had left-sided dull continuous pain on the scalp that eased after rest 5 years ago. Help

Dear Patient,

For merlagia paresthetica-
-Ice/heat massage the area
-wear loose fit clothes
-try reducing weight
-try building up muscle mass of thighs
-take cap risek 20mg once before breakfast and once before dinner with tablet naproxen once after breakfast and once after dinner for 2weeks
Can you attach a photo of the tender region of the scalp? Is there any swelling redness rash warmth in that area? Does it hurt to touch or also without touching? Hair grows there? Have u tried rubbing pain relieving balms like tiger balm/fastum gel there?
