Do you notice any "itchy" feeling with it also? Mine is along the hairline & my left ear.
Not itchy, I get a 'crawly' sensation though, or 'twingy' feeling at times, zaps of sharpness or sharp stabbing throbs of pain at it's worst on the left side.

I can experience some pretty severe attacks of pain (Trigeminal Neuralgia) down the left side of the head/face.
