I went to a walk-in clinic locally and they removed it. The MD told me there was no infection but that my body was trying to fight this foreign object in my scalp. Since then no more spasms of pain and I'm generally feeling better.
Reminds me of my post-op experience. I had a real sensitive place on a lower leg that bothered me. I peeled back the coverings to find some open wounds. They looked like partial thickness burns?? The staff told me I had not been properly grounded and every time the electric knife was used I sparked. Would have been funny had it not nurt.
