What causes an area of the skin to lose its feelings/ or became numb?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Swelling: Or edema is probably the most common cause, among many others. Another common cause, self limited, is sustained mechanical pressure to the involved area. Peripheral neuropathies as well as few neurological diseases can cause focal numbness as well. Talk to your doc about your symptoms.
