Hello
It seems from the history that you had an episode of herpes zoster affecting the skin of the face and now you are having burning sensation and numbness of the skin.
This is a common problem and it is called as post herpetic neuralgia.
It is one of the difficult conditions ot treat. The drugs like carbamazepine or cimetidine or known to be effective in treating post herpetic neuralgia.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
