Hello! I understand your concern! In my opinion your troubles are due to a disorder called trigeminal neuralgia. It is an inflammation of the trigeminal nerve, which is the main nerve responsible for the sensitivity of our head. It may be without a cause, but most of the cases it may be caused by an infection, or a brain tumor, an abnormal vessel, or a cyst. I would recommend you a brain MRI to rule out anatomic causes. If you were my patient I would treat you with carbamazepine or Gabapentin which are very helpful. If this treatment doesn't give good results consulting with a brain surgeon may be necessary, for specific therapeutic procedures. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes Chat Doctor.
