What Causes Nerve Sensitivity On The Right Side Of The Face?
What would cause nerve sensitivity on the right side of my face/scalp area? I ve had it for a few days and wonder if I may be bit by a spider over-night. I don t see evidence of swelling, redness, etc. I don t have any other symptoms...Seems strange...
