Suggest Remedy For Numbness In Right Side Of Head

I was in a bad car accident when i was 16 and i am now 41. I had 32 stitches on the right side of my head. I woke up this past sunday, and my right side of my head where the scar is is numb up to the middle of my head and down a little on my forehead. What the heck is it from?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns

I would exclude any link between the two situations. However, if the numbness persists or re-happen you should take a consult to your primary care doctor to have a neurological examination, to be sure that nothing is serious.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
