What Could Cause Numbness On Cheeks With Stinging And Pain When Touched?
Hello, I m feeling a numbness feeling around my cheekbone area (right side). When I stretch out my face it stings or when I touch my cheekbone it kind of hurts. It s been like this all day. No new systems. I didn t injure myself. There s no swelling. Just won t go away

thanks for the query, i have gone through your question,
the numbness could be because of the pressure over the nerve supplying that area, most commonly occurs following trauma, or it can be because of any pathologies like cyst and tumors which causes pressure over the nerve.. so you need to undergo some radiographs like orthopantomograh as a screening radiograph..and consult a oral physician soon to rule out other pathologies..
i hope my answer will help you....
