Can Tickling And Pinching Feeling On Face Be A Serious Problem?
I have a tickling and small pinching feelings on left side of face. Like as if its being eaten by small insects or so. It goes away for like an hour once I take panadol then it comes back. I can t touch my face, when I do as if the skin is so thin. May it be something serious? Or just a coming cold maybe? Because also when I drink cold water the left side of my teeth hurt just a bit. What could be possibly causing this? Thanks.

Hello!
I read your question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles you have may be related to an irritation of the trigeminal nerve. It may be from a tooth infection, compression of the nerve, viral infection or without a specific cause.
I would recommend to take some Gabapentine for some days. It is an antiseizure drug, which is very good in nerve pain too. It should be given under doctor prescription.
If the pain persist I would recommend to have some tests like a full blood work for inflammation and a consult with your dentist.
Hope to have been of help!
