Bones in head constantly keep feeling like they swelling.

For past 12 years I have had the sensation in my head that my skull is swelling.I also have a extremely itchy scalp and my face is constantly burning with redness and oily skin,The head seems to swell and hurt alot at back of my head. A bone appears and dissapears at back of head and the left side also has swelling of skull near ear bone,This is also triggerd by looking into a mirror or using a smartphone no doctor believes my head is swelling because it's not noticeable to them because it's not large enough to notice and it's not they head but it's painful and also gives me jaw pain and is my making my teeth hurt and gums swell and bleed.

  1. , this may sound like a strange question, have you seen an eye doctor and explained your symptoms? This sounds like it could be Intracranial hypertension (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4314569/ and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11294902/#:~:text=Interestingly%2C%20IIH%20is%20also%20significantly,Dandy%20in%201937%20%5B8%5D. ). Of course, I am not a doctor though, so I would recommend reaching out to yours!" - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
