anyone get face tingling/hairs on face feeling
Posted , 41 users are following.
months back i had feeling on my face like little hairs fell on it. Not specific to one side either.They said sinus and gave me antibiotics.
Four rounds last year last one in decemeber. For whatever reason i had a Few sinus infections this past year. So today I feel the weird feeling again. Im wondering if anyone else gets this face weird sensation as I really think I have been on enough antiobiotics already. I also am still dealing with high frequency tinnitus as well from a three week bout with a head cold/flu back in decemeber. I have been healed for two weeks now.I do not feel stuffed up.i do have tmj as well. Trying to figure it out.

I have the tingling feeling all over. I can't get an answer for what is going on. I am on all alergy meds you can think of, chiropractic, acupuncture, you name it I've tried it. I get bouts of numbness on my face from time to time and feel my head throbbing to the point it feels like its swaying. also feels like somethings constantly stuck in nose/throat. scalp is numb as well. I think I have anxiety just from everyone thinking I'm nuts when I ask them if they feel spiders or smell things that aren't there.

how long has this been going on for and think back what happened before this happened before you had this feeling ..
so it might be there because it was there and now you’re just used to it being there ..

I also smell things that now one else does, like cigarette smoke, & get severe headaches. I'm terrified as I'm thinking it sounds like something neurological because of that

started about a year ago. I suspected mold in my home but could get no answers. I got allergy shots and mold isnt something I'm alergic to. I moved twice since then and still have the same issue. just keeps getting worse. I've been given migraine meds and no help. I'm 33 but still keep searching for someone to have what I have so i dont go crazy.

Hi all,
mine has started after I gave birth. I have anxieties and depressions. I might also have fibromyalgia. I head buzzing and head tingling too. Some days nothing but some days it could be all day. I have noticed it does happen when I'm exhausted and have not much sleep or just have had a hard day with the kids. LAck of sleep is such an major factor in lot of health problems especially those with neurological problems. I don't want to go doctors because all they will prescribe is some silly medication that will only make me worse for other health issues. Can some of you update us on your journey to recovery or dealing with it please? ❤

Same situation. Although I wasnt the one who had the baby. Soon after we had our kid, the new added stress brought out the same sensations. I googled and googled and only made my anxiety worse and developed agrophobia. Its been some time and ive learned how to deal with anxiety and stress. Most importantly, know that this is all stress related and can be reversed. These feelings will subside eventually. You must find a way to relax and get some stress off you. I had the tingling scalp sensation for over a year. Now I know it was because I fed the fear of the symptom. I still get it some days but ive learned to let it go.

try breathing into paper bag for minute or two several times a day. Overbreathing can cause tingling and nerve problems. You don't know you're doing it. Do you sigh and yawn a lot? That's a sign.

I originally noticed a crawling sensation on my scalp for several days after each time we've had the letter about headlice from school. I thought it was just a weird psychological reaction as I never caught anything. Now I seem to be getting the sensation of hairs on my face plus the crawly scalp. Some days are worse than others. I have done some googling and it sounds like this (formication) can also happen to women when they are in the perimenopause, several years before actual menopause. I'm wondering if that could help anyone. It's driving me mad. I don't take that drug that has been mentioned and, although things can be stressful, I don't feel unduly anxious...

Did anyone find any possible solutions? My situation started with a case of allergic conjunctivitis it became quite severe. I constantly keep picking at my eyes as I had mucus strands going vertical and horizontal across my eyes creating barriers to the point of pain. It felt like my eye balls were being squeezed. I finally got relief from that but shortly after. I felt like I had spider webs across my face, actually all over my body, literally from head to toe. of course its invisible however, I do continue to pull white silk like fibers from everywhere. Also, I noticed when I use to mess with my eyes I could feel the mucus strand but in addition I could feel something else something fuzz like or maybe yeast IDK. I went to several doctors and eye specialist and nothing they all think I'm crazy. It got soo bad now I feel it all over my house and esp my bed. I cant even sleep in it anymore, hence now I'm moving but I'm not cured and I dont want to taint the new house too. Another note is that I can feel it coming out of every hole in my body, face, ears, nose and mouth. I been using Apple Cider Vinegar, it helps a bit but still nothing dealing with this since December. All suggestions are welcomed! Please help!

Just an update but I don't get this as bad now. I saw something suggesting it can be caused by black mould spores. We had some mould build up on a blind and I threw it out. Symptoms improved but I occasionally get the sensation to the side of my nose or on my scalp. Far, far better now though. Check for mould maybe. Good luck.

I wonder now if there's mold where I live because a year or two back, before this started I think, we had a pipe leaking that left water standing in our bathroom. So many theories sound very plausible because they all fit me in some way (mold, medications, dopamine imbalance, static, neurological conditions, sinus problems) & I wish I could pinpoint which it is but I don't want to go to a doctor because they see anxiety & panic disorder in my medical history & immediately jump on that as the cause without even listening to me or examining me or anything, let alone trying to get them to run tests. I do have anxiety & panic attacks but it's a different feeling when that happens; this is a mid recent development & is pretty constant, even when I'm not feeling particularly anxious

can anyone help or has found anything out ? I've been dealing with this since January have seen three different doctors including a dermatologist two of them they are insisting it is dermatitis. I've had rashes on and off. I itch and feel like things are crawling on me like fallin hair on my face but nothing is there. I have no anxiety except for this and trying to figure it out. It is frustrating. I was treated for scabies I'm still thinking it might be that that it wasn't treated correctly but they insist that it is not scabies. but this is not going away and it is frustrating. one doctor said extreme dry skin one dermatologist said it was rosacea one doctor said dermatitis I'm on an antihistamine and non scented lotion that is not helping. rash comes and goes about every other week almost looks like a skull and it's hot to touch and is itchy but itches continuous even when the rash isn't there

Hello,
I wanted to respond to your post because I know how frustrating and worrisome this is. I had tingling and the feeling of a hair on the right side of my face for months. It was so irritating and I kept trying to swipe my face trying to get the hair off.
I went to my doctors for a hip issue and then casually mentioned this to him. His immediate response was that I needed a MRI to rule out MS or something else. Of course, that really sent my anxiety sky high. I took the test and all came back just fine. I was sent to a neurologist who examined the MRI, gave me a physical and then ran all kinds of tests including HIV, Syphillis, vitamin deficiencies and other things I couldn't even pronounce.
Basically, the neurologist thought that these were related to mirgraines (silent migranes) that don't necessarily present itself in the normal way. I was iffy about this diagnosis. But once I relaxed and knew that it wasn't serious, my symptom gradually resolved. It took months, but it did go away.
I haven't had that sensation in about 6 months. Maybe start with your primary doctor and go from there.
Good Luck!
