What could cause tingling on my cheek under the eye?

The cheek under the eye is supplied by branches of the trigeminal nerve, which can become irritated or affected by various factors, including:

Nerve irritation or compression: Pressure from muscle tension, injury, or swelling can cause tingling. Sinus infections or allergies: Inflammation in the sinuses or allergic reactions can cause tingling or numbness in nearby facial areas. Shingles (herpes zoster): Early stages may cause tingling or burning before a rash develops. Trigeminal neuralgia: A condition causing sharp or tingling facial pain, sometimes affecting the cheek area. Dry skin or irritation: Skin conditions or exposure to irritants can cause mild tingling. Migraine aura: Some migraines cause tingling sensations in the face before the headache starts. If tingling persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like rash, pain, or weakness, consult a healthcare provider to identify the cause and get appropriate treatment.
