About the symptom
Abnormal sensation in the face, such as numbness, tingling, prickling, itching, or burning. Paresthesias can happen due to many different conditions, including nerve damage or anxiety.
When to see a doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
Numbness or abnormal sensation over face
Possible causes
- Piriformis syndrome
The sciatic nerve is responsible for control and sensation of the legs. Occasionally, it can be compressed by the Piriformis muscle in the buttocks, causing symptoms that are often identical to and may be mistaken for a slipped disc.
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system), which may lead to permanent damage or deterioration of the nerves.
Rickets Vitamin D deficiency
Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children, usually because of an extreme and prolonged vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus from food. Not enough vitamin D makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorus levels in bones, which can cause rickets.
Pes anserine bursitis
Meniscus injury
Transient synovitis
Perthes disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease
Related serious diseases
- Hypocalcemia
Hypocalcemia occurs when the levels of calcium in the blood are too low. It’s often caused by abnormal levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) or vitamin D in the body.
