Numbness
Numbness (Sensory loss; Paresthesias; Numbness and Tingling;
Loss of sensation):
You feel as though a part of your skin or body feels numb to
the touch. It may also feel like it has been frozen with anesthesia.
This numb patch may be small or encompass many parts of the body
such as an arm, hand, finger, face, mouth, lips, tongue, leg,
foot, or toe, or all of them.
While numbness can occur anywhere on the body, it’s most
common on the hands, feet, arms, and legs.
Numbness can also be accompanied by tingling, pins and needles,
and burning skin sensations.
The affected area(s) may remain constant, or they may change
and randomly appear anywhere and anytime. Repeated visual inspections
show no skin abnormalities.
