For the last few months i have had a very tender scalp,its not a pain its sore on the outside.?

Question:

Its not there in the morning but comes on during the day and by the evening its very uncomfotable to lay head on pillow,has anybody had this or tell me what it could be. ?

Answers:
Possibilities:
- Sunburn
- Allergic reaction...since it happens later in the day, we can speculate that it is caused by something you encounter regularly AFTER you begin your day, or something you eat.
- Dry scalp...if you shower in the morning, it's possible the dryness doesn't manifest until later in the day, esp. if you enter an air conditioned environment. If so, eat more walnuts or get more essential fatty acids.

If you wear your hair up, it could just be that you wear it too tight. Try wearing your hair down and see what happens.

could be your hairstyle, could be a follical infection, if it keeps up get it checked, my friends grandmother had pain like that and it turned out to be brain cancer...
