Brief Answer:
I think nothing to worry about.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

If it is only the twitching of that area and there are no other symptoms ( such sensitivity changes, pain, swelling, tenderness ) I think you have nothing to worry about.

Probably there is a vascular supply impairment or nerve dysfunction on that area that is causing the twitching.

If other symptoms, it is necessary to get evaluated by your primary care Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
