Question : In the last few days I have developed a strange tingling sensation radiating outward laterally and downward from the bridge of my nose about 2 inches. The tingling goes up on my forhead some but not as far as the other directions. I have no injuries, bites, redness, rash, warmth or other symptoms related to it. I have had no changes in soaps or beauty products, no new foods, perfumes or medications.

Try washing your face from time to time. Take methylcobalamine.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It is possible that the blood flow to your face has come down a bit giving rise to the tingling sensations. I would insist you to wash your face with normal water (preferably slightly warm) from time to time. You may also try taking methylcobalamine (a B vitamin) once daily and see if it helps.

Let me know if I could help further.
