A tingling headache on the right side of your head can be caused by a variety of health conditions. One possible cause is scalp dysesthesia, which is a neuropathic condition. This means that the nerves in your scalp might be acting abnormally, causing sensations like tingling or burning even though the scalp looks normal.
Another potential cause could be a migraine, which often has a pulsing or throbbing quality and typically affects one side of the head.
If your symptoms are severe, frequent, persistent, worsening, and or accompanied by other symptoms (such as weakness, numbness, or blurry vision), it's important to talk to a healthcare professional. They can help figure out what's causing the headache and recommend the best treatment.
