What Causes Facial Numbness, Itchiness And Pricking On Face?
Hello, I am having facial numbness, itchiness, pricking on face both cheeks, nose, mouth area + some time both hands& fingers. Right now, whilst emailing you. Left leg, itchy toes, under part of foot too. Is this to do with my nerval system, lower back or upper neck areas? I would like to have idea, to go to the right specialist for advise.

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared,this might be due to the deficiency of Vitamin B 12 complex and is common in vegetarians.
I would recommend you yo get appointment with medical specialist and get your blood tests done. Once this is ruled out nerve conduction studies by neurologist will help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
