Hi.
As per your case history you are having numbness due to vitamin b12 deficiency.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Other treatment options are oral gabapentin, injectable vitamin b12 given only after consulting a dermatologist.

If problem persists then consult a neurologist.

Thanks.
