Headache and Migraines Forum - What is causing burning sensation in my head?

I have been having a burning sensation in my head this past week only occurs at night usually. I do have my hair in a pony tail alot and have been for years but it is just starting...I did hit my forehead weeks ago hard but seemed fine and a few days after that fell and been having neck problems. Could I have a serious problem?

According to the symptom you mention (“a burning sensation in my head”), I am unable at this time to determine what the problem may be. It doesn’t seem to me that you are experiencing a serious health problem but you may visit your GP for a physical examination and to request standard laboratory analysis.
