What could be the reason for tingling in my left cheek under the eye?

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

Nerve irritation or compression: Pressure from muscle strain, injury, or swelling can cause tingling sensations. Sinus infections or allergies: Inflammation in the sinuses or allergic reactions may lead to tingling or numbness in the cheek. Shingles (herpes zoster): Early stages of this viral infection can cause tingling or burning sensations before a rash appears. Trigeminal neuralgia: A nerve disorder that causes sharp or tingling facial pain. Dry skin or irritation: Skin conditions or exposure to irritants may cause mild tingling. Migraine aura: Some people experience tingling or numbness in the face as part of a migraine aura.
