Hello,
Tingling feeling over face may be due to trigeminal neuralgia, partial sensory seizures, hemifacial spasm or blepharospasm. It can be normal too.
Is this tingling unilateral or bilateral? Any facial deviation? Any a headache, seizures, loss of consciousness? Continue vitamin B 12 and folic acid supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
