Explanation
Burning and tingling in the face can be caused by common things like an irritant (ie: lotion, makeup, perfume. It may also be related to something less common like an issue with the trigeminal nerve. If related to trigeminal neuralgia, there are a few treatments that might help with these symptoms:
Surgical Options: One treatment is called microvascular decompression, which can help relieve symptoms by addressing the pressure on the nerve (Reference 2).
Gamma Knife Surgery: This is a type of radiation treatment that can also help with nerve issues, but it might cause some problems like nerve dysfunction (Reference 3).
Understanding and Diagnosis: It's important to figure out if the symptoms are due to trigeminal neuralgia or neuropathy, as this will guide the treatment choice (Reference 1).
These treatments aim to reduce the symptoms and improve quality of life. It's important to talk to a healthcare professional to understand the best option for individual cases.
