What Causes Tingling Sensation On Left Side Of Face?

I have some light tingling on left side of face. It is by my eye. It almost feels as if there is a hair and I keep trying to push it away but there is no hair. I had shingles in my eye about 5 years ago and still experience itching pretty much daily on my left eyelid, eyebrow and forehead.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Since there is history of Shingles 5 years ago, the after effects of it cause the symptoms you have.
Since they are not troublesome, you can always try to avoid the thought.
If it becomes irritating a few medicines like Amytryptilin or gabapentin in a long acting form can be tried, Since these are prescription based medicines you have to consult a Physician to get them .
I find this answer helpful
