Yes, sometimes just the left side of my face will feel sort of "numb" but it is not. I used to think it was my sinus but I now realize it's not. I don't know what triggers it. I starts under my eye, down my cheek, neck, shoulder arm and it is very uncomfortable. It doesn't last several hours but it sure seems like it. Possibly Gabapentin for nerve pain will work unless you prefer not to take medication. Check with your doctor and God Bless.

Hi Sammirap
Does putting something cold on ur hands and feet work, when I try and put cold water on my face it helps for that moment buts it right back soon as I dry my face.

My doctor gives me a steroid cream to put on my body when it's burning but I am kinda afraid to but it on my face.... when I go to my next visit I will mention it to him, my face started burning about 6 months ago
