What Causes A Numb Patch On The Shin After A Fall?
I fell on my shin a couple weeks ago and a little patch beside the cut is completely numb and when I touch it it feels like I m touching someone else. I put peroxide on it a few times. I picked the scab and it bled for a while but than I noticed it was like a hole and it s still there a few days later

Hello,
Since you have numbness a small nerve may have been damaged.
I don't think that there is something you can do for it, it should improve by itself with time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
