Numbness on face

Have any of you experienced your face getting numb? It started with my upper lip and expanded to my total face, took a couple weeks. Now when I say numb it is not totally but partial. I feel pressure and most things but it feels like when you come back from the dentist and your face is numb. for example: the sharp tip of my fingernail I don't feel I only feel the pressure of my nail on my face.

Thank you for any feedback.

Iv personally never felt numbness. Have you spoke to your doctor regarding this?

Dermo sent me to gen Dr., he had no idea and sent me to Rumo, she had no idea. I will have MRI Friday.

just wondering if this is related or not.

I saw this was an old question but did you get any clarity? I'm experiencing the same weird numbness in my face. I´ve had alopecia areata for 15+ years which has developed to Alopecia Universalis during the past few months.

I´ve experienced numbness in my face for the past week. Not total, but as you say, feels like when you´ve visited the dentist. For me its mostly my cheek and chin bones but I also feel numbness on my lower arm.

Really interested if you got some information for your numbness. I´ve been at the doctor and waiting now for a forwarding to the neurologist but it could take up to two weeks to get an appointment.

Hi, 

I have Alopecia Universalis and experienced similar symptoms for the past year without any clear answers from my doctors. Any update with your search for a cause

I had an incident happening to me last December while waiting at a restaurant my whole body on my left side became Numb. I went back to room and slept for a while and it was gone when i woke up after an hour or two. It was scary, but thankfully it went away. What i would suggest is to visit a doc and make sure everything is alright with you. I also have low BP, once i even fainted, lol, and i wasn't eating well at the time. 

Health is Wealth. :)

If its pronounced numbness on one side mainly, it could be Bells palsy - which is an inflamation of the 7th cranial nerve. Docs now think its caused by a variation if the herpes simplex virus.
Very rare when I had it 40 yrs ago and nothing that could be done, but when I had again in 2006 there were treatment options.
