Huh... my mom had lots of migraines when I was growing up and these aren’t like those. No sensory overload, for instance. But it’s certainly possible. I will talk with my doctor and see if he thinks I should see a neurologist.
But there’s definitely an allergy component. I got a new facial cleanser and used it the other night. Twenty minutes later I’m aware I have a horrible headache and my skin is itchy and my eyes red and watery. Sure enough, it’s got “fragrance” listed on the ingredients list. That went into the trash.
There are a lot of different kinds of symptoms. Here’s a good rundown:

And if your Mom had ‘em...this could very well be related, though of course any kind of skin reaction is different again. So maybe a couple of things together.
