Tingling or Numbness
Tingling or numbness of the face can be a symptom of internal shingles. This may also occur in other areas, such as the tongue, throat, arms, legs, and chest. The tingling may feel like it starts on one side and spreads over the skin’s surface.
The discomfort is worse at night when lying down and resting. They may also experience numbness in the face or parts of the body. This is caused by inflammation around nerve endings in the skin. In addition, the condition can cause tingling and numbness in the legs, arms, and trunk.
A person may also feel like pins and needles underneath their skin are causing pain when touched with something sharp. For example, if someone scratches them with their nails hard enough, it will break through the skin.
