Answers:
You are right!. Your Dr!. Doesn't know what he is doing regarding this condition!. Ask to be referred to a specialist!. There are several things that I know of that can cause a burning sensation in the scalp!.

First- Burning means that a nerve is being affected!.

1) Brain Tumor effecting the nerves of the head and neck ( see above contributor)!. Did they do blood tests specifically looking for cancer!?

2) Temporal Arteritis- Are you over 45!? Does your jaw hurt too!? Do you also have an aching, throbbing headache!? Do you have a fever!? All of these point to Temporal Arteritis!. However, this is an infection, usually blood tests would pick up high White blood cells!.

3) Nerve impingement-(SubOccipital Neuralgia,peripheral neuropathy, peripheral nerve compression) Many nerves that innervate the head come from the neck area!. A misalignment of your skull on your neck can be causing an impingement!. With this a chiropractor should be able to help!. Since all the blood tests came out normal- I would try this one first!. However, I have seen screwed up blood tests before!.

Ask the doctor to send you for a scan!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

HI, i had burning pain in my head for years and took tablets about 10 a week but it did not cure it,four years ago i decided to go to the doctors and he sent me to the local hospital for a brain scan and they found a brain tumor the size of a golf ball on my temple and refered me to the Walton Centre in Liverpool!.
They wanted to do a biopsy but i told them no, just take it out and they did i went in to the opperating theatre at 9am and came out at 16!.30pm!.
That was four years ago and the 1st and 2nd years were difficult but now i'm fully recovered!.
If you think that the pain is not going away talk to your doctor about a scan!.

Best of luck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
