What is the reason for slight numbness on the face

If there is anything abnormal in our body in our life, we should check and treat it in time, so that we can be responsible for our own body. Mild numbness in the face can occur for a variety of reasons, including disease affecting the facial nerves.

Facial numbness is a symptom of facial nerve disease. Facial nerve diseases include facial paralysis, facial nerve paralysis, facial neuritis, hemifacial spasm, hemifacial muscle atrophy, trigeminal neuralgia, etc. They are common and frequently occurring diseases. Therefore, you can go to the hospital for relevant examinations in your current situation, find out the cause and then treat the symptoms.

Facial paralysis refers to paralysis of the facial muscles. It is caused by a stroke in the facial nerve, which supplies the facial muscles. The main manifestation is impaired facial muscle movement.

The clinical manifestations of facial paralysis are mainly bilateral severe and mild facial muscle paralysis, manifested as inability to frown and frown, inability to close the eyes or incomplete closure, photophobia, tearing and Bell phenomenon. The corner of the mouth is tilted toward the healthier side, air leaks from the more severely affected side when the cheek is puffed out, water leaks from the more severely affected side when the mouth is rinsed, and drooling occurs. When eating, food stays between the teeth and cheeks on the more severely affected side. Unilateral facial paralysis is less common, and its clinical symptoms are similar to those of bilateral facial paralysis, one severe and one mild. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it crooked mouth and slanted eyes, commonly known as hanging line wind and aiming wind (just like a carpenter hanging a line and a soldier aiming). If peripheral facial nerve paralysis occurs to the same degree on both sides, the person will have a blank expression on his face, will not smile, his eyes and lips cannot close tightly, food will remain in his cheeks when eating, and his speech will be slurred. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it total paralysis, commonly known as vegetative paralysis or stupid paralysis. These three types of peripheral facial paralysis have an acute onset and are mostly discovered when washing in the morning or talking with others. They can occur at any age. Especially for unilateral and bilateral one severe and one mild type, the severity of the disease may change during the course of the disease; or the muscles on the primary affected side may have atrophied and the healthier side may begin to become paralyzed. This is why it is common for a quarrel to first tilt to one side and then to the other side. In addition, there is chronic external stroke, which does not belong to peripheral facial paralysis. The facial muscles are not paralyzed, the mouth is not crooked, and the eyes are not slanted. It manifests as headache, tightness of the head, pain behind the ears, tightness behind the ears, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, waist pain, leg pain, cold feet and hands, cold back, half of the body is cold, half of the body is tight, cold face, facial pain, tight face, facial numbness, facial itching, facial twitching, facial spasm, fear of cold, fear of wind and other discomforts. It also belongs to the category of external stroke and is much easier to treat than acute facial paralysis. However, if it is not treated properly, it will last for many years or lead to chronic peripheral facial nerve paralysis.

If you don't get good treatment in time, you may feel facial paralysis. In fact, this is a paralysis of the facial muscles. Once you have facial paralysis, you will not be able to control your muscles well, so it will cause a phenomenon similar to a stroke. In order to avoid this situation, you should find a suitable treatment method.
