<human>: The other morning when applying my makeup I rubbed my right cheek and the right side of my face began to twitch around my eye and cheek and it felt very tight and numb. Now anytime I touch the outer right part of my cheek bone (close to my ear) the same thing happens.
<bot>: Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:1. Entrapment of facial nerve/ its branches.2. Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.3. Inadequate HY Chat Doctor. 4. Peripheral neuropathy caused due to any fluctuation in blood pressure or blood sugar level. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of cervicogenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & vitamin D needs to be added in your diet. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done. Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.X-ray & MRI can also be carried out to confirm nerve entrapment. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
