Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Trauma can be the reason, but we should rule out leprosy as it causes damage to nerves which presents like this. Do you have any other symptom with it??
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sidra Aziz
