Is intermittent numbness in the face cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Numbness is most often a cause for concern and could mean an underlying medical problem/pathology in the face or brain. The numbness being intermittent is better than being constant. Consult a neurologist.
