Wish I had a cure for the break out pain. The only thing that worked for my hubby is to come and get me so that I could massage his temples. I learned it from my massage therapist. She said that there are receptors there that align with the nerves near the SCC. I massage his temples and then also his forehead very gently. Make small gentle circles toward the chin. Worked for us.
