What Does Tingling Sensation On The Nose Indicate?

I ve been wearing glasses for 5 days now, I took them off for one day and realised my nose tingles and has a numb feeling sensation but when I touch my nose, obviously it isn t numb. The tingling starts from the nose bridge and runs down the sides of my nose. Just wanting to know if it because I m not used to glasses or if it s a nerve issue?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may mean that the glasses are compressing the nerves in the area. This should not occur.

It is not likely permanent once managed. You need to have the area around the nose bridge altered to prevent permanent damage.

I hope this helps
