Numbness, Soreness And Burning Over Small Area On Palate, Blotchy And Burning Rash On Face, Bad Taste In Mouth. Reason?
Hi, A small area on my palate went numb yesterday and today it is feeling more sore (I had this about a month ago and it turned really very sore for a few days). I can;t recall burning it. At the same time I have developed a burning blotchy rash on my face (cheeks and over my nose ). It s starting to really burn. I have a bad taste in my mouth too. I m female, 42. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,
You must not delay. Should do some blood tests soon. Blood for HEMOGRAM,ESR,CRP,RA factor, Anti ds-DNA, ANA,P-ANCA,C-ANCA. Also you should see a dermatologist for facial rash. It could be SLE(name of the disease). If all those tests are normal then start Vitamin B- complex scecially Vit B2. Is there any voice change or nasal regurgitation of water/liquid during drinking ? Thanks,
