What Causes Numbness Of Nose And Forehead?

At night, sometimes my nose goes very cold and completly numb, on some occasions my forehead also goes numb. It wakes me up. I give my nose a rub and the sensation usually returns quite quickly. Do I need to see a doctor, or can I just put it down to another one of things you get when your 54!

Hello,

Numbness means an absence of feeling or loss of sensation.
A numb face can be a symptom of one of many health conditions, including migraine and allergies.
But they can also just be a response to being cold as I think it is your case.
So,I suggest not to be worried.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
