i have started to develop painful spots on my head that are hard to touch but do burst. they are mainly around my hairline and on the crown. i have looked on the net and most sites dont seem to be able to answer? the ones that do seem to hint at stress and anxiety, could this true?

It's possible but not likely. I would consult a dermatologist to determine if there are problems causing the skin eruptions. If tehre are no dermatological or dietary problems, then it would be worth assessing your anxiety state.
