A member asked:

Pretty persistent tingling and slight numbness mainly on left side of lips for over 2 weeks now. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing else: At the least you're describing PARESTHESIAS of the lips but it certainly is a bit odd that it should be occurring just over the left 1/2 of your lips continuously. No facial droop on that side, drooling from the left corner of the mouth, difficulty closing the left eye? If yes, then, you may have a mild Bell's palsy. If not then, maybe getting some blood work would be indicated to check things.
