H,

The tingling sensation is commonly due to the nerves in an area. There are different types of nerve injury. This is likely one of the mildest forms. Since there was no open wound and the nerve is intact, it is likely that the nerve would repair itself.

This can sometimes take a few weeks. You may want to be assessed to make sure there are no other causes if it continues or worsens.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
