What Causes Tingling Sensation Behind The Ear?

I have this tingling sensation down the left side of my neck, behind my ear, down my neck - it s like water flowing. It happens several times a day and only last a few seconds. It sometimes spreads to my left cheek. My neck is not hot, cannot feel anything, my pulse is normal when this happens. What is causing this tingling effect.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

If the sensory nerves in your ear get damaged, your ear may have trouble feeling sensation.
This could result in a tingling feeling known as paresthesia.
In this case you should see a neurologist and get evaluated.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
