What Causes Radiating Numbness And Pain From Philtrum?

I thought I had a pimple on my upper lip where it meets the nose. I started to feel the pressure 2days ago. Now I have a lot of pressure under my nose with a sever headache in the front of my face similar to a sinus headache. Today the skin near and on the spot is very painful. This morning my nose and upper lip started going numb and the numbness is starting to radiate outward more and more.

The area below nose n upper lip is considered as danger area of face.It would be better to avoid squeezing n pressuring any pimples there as there is the risk of spreading the infection to Venous sinuses..Though it may or may not be the reason for your head ache&pain,It would be better you to consult ENT surgeon(Ear-nose-throat specialist) as early as possible .
