Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query.
I would like to know if there is any redness of eye or skin or any skin lesions in the affected area?
Are there any vision complaints?
Did the sensation start soon after the hair transplant? If not, how long since you have had it?
Take care

Hello,
No there is no redness or skin lesions on the area, also there is no vision loss.
This occured about 12 days after the hair transplant. I think i feel it now is because they put nerve blocks with anastesia and maybe now it has worn off.
the main feeling is like a pressure in the eyeball and eyelid. the pain is similar always and it has been 3 days now since it started.
kind regards

Brief Answer:
Regarding weird sensation in eye and surrounding skin of temple
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Local anesthesia used during hair transplant doesn't last that long. So, your present symptoms seen unrelated. Just keep a watch if you notice any skin lesions or worsening of symptoms. Unilateral pain and weird sensation could be a prodrome of herpes zoster/ shingles. I suggest you to take symptomatic treatment in the form of painkiller e.g ibuprofen or diclofenac for a few days.
