My scalp hurts when I touch my head… Will this be okay?
If you touch your head, the symptoms of scalp pain are usually temporary pain.
If you don’t have any other curious symptoms, you don’t need to worry too much.

However, there are cases (such as herpes zoster) when you go to the hospital, so please explain in detail as follows.
Three possible causes
The reason why my scalp hurts when I touch my head,

There are many cases where the back is the cause.
Each of them is described in detail.

Recently, the use of smartphones or PCs for long periods of time has also affected young people.

People with stiff shoulders or necks should exercise or stretch.
Let your eyes rest if you suspect the effects of stability fatigue.
