Neuropathy: Hi, Numbness or tingling of gradual onset is concerning. It could be a serious medical condition such as a stroke , diabetes , deficiency b12, It is due to small nerve involvement causing the numbness. Not to scare you but your body is telling you to get a Checkup. Dont let this go. Dr. Lori Lange-Pennsylvania

Uncertain: With tingling we consider neurologic issues, and this needs to be checked out. However we also see tingling due in part to paresthesias, which are benign peculiar skin sensations. There is no easy answer here you need to be checked out by your physician and possibly see a neurologist
