Hi.
This is a form of a altered sensation due to affection of the trigeminal nerve supplying this particular part of your face.

You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.

May be , you should consult a Neurologist and get an MRI with special instruction to see for trigeminal nerve in the brain and along its course. Also see that you are not suffering from hypertension ,as this may cause this problem
