experiencing tingling (NOT pins and needles) onleft side of face from back of head around to face, concentrated in the ear area. Does not hurt but can get stronger. Comes and goes. has an electrical shock feel to it and sometimes comes around to the corner of the mouth and the eye.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to trigeminal nerve compression. The electrical shock pain seems to be caused by the irritation of this nerve (also called trigeminal neuralgia). For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam. A brain MRI is necessary to exclude a possible intracranial cause (a cyst, a tumor or a vascular compression of the nerve). Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
