What Causes Weird Sensation Under Cheek Bone And Eye Lid?

I woke this morning at 4 am with what felt like my face had something crawing under the skin on my cheek bone and under my eye lid. I still have that weird sensation on my cheek bone. It is driving me nuts. Could this be some kind of nerve thing ging on?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. These sensations are called tactile hallucinations and there are several conditions that may cause such sensations, I would mention certain substances (alkool, amphetamine, cocaine, some medications), sleep disorder, a number of psychiatric and systemic diseases. If it is your first episode and related to sleep disorder or some substance, I think there is nothing to worry about. If it repeats several times I suggest you to contact your local Doctor. 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.
