Hello,
The symptoms can be probably related to nerve disorder and as it is on the face it can be due to trigeminal nerve. Consult a neurophysician and get evaluated. An MRI scan can be done for confirmation.
In case if nerve related problem is diagnosed then you can be advised neurotic pain killers like Carbamazepine, Gabapentin, Baclofen, etc. Along with it if needed surgical intervention can also be advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
