What Causes Numbness On The Forehead With Migraine?

I have had a headache or migraine rather for 8 days now. I have been to the er twice in this period for pain management. The last time was last night, they did a ct and said everything was clear just classic migraine, so they treated with demerol and sent me home. When I woke I was pain free for about an hour then bam it was back. I went to grocery store and while there kept rubbing temple and surrounding area, I noticed when I touched it softly it was kind of numb but when i rubbed it, it hurt and felt hot. When I got back to car I looked in mirror and noticed that whole area was red. Could these two things be connected?
