What causes tingling in cheek under eye?

Tingling in the cheek under the eye can happen when the nerves in the face are affected. One important nerve in this area is the infraorbital nerve.

Possible Causes:

1. Nerve Problems: The infraorbital nerve can sometimes be affected by medical procedures, as noted in a study where laser eye surgery led to nerve issues.
2. Pressure from Tissues: The fat around the eye can press on nerves. This pressure can cause tingling or numbness.
3. Infections, such as a sinus infection can cause discomfort and tingling to the cheek.

These issues can make the cheek feel tingly because the nerves are not working the way they should. If you experience these symptoms, it might be helpful to discuss them with a healthcare professional.
