A member asked:
A twitch above one of my ears has grown and now both in front and above the ear twitch randomly at a higher intensity. is this an emergency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Twitching: Maybe not an emergency but still you should not delay an evaluation with a physician. Sounds like facial myokymia. A neurologist could determine if a neuroimaging is necessary as part of the work up.
