Why does lip tingling appear?
Good day. I have a bit of a strange question, but this problem is bothering me. I have had for some time recurrent tingling in the mouth. This feeling is strange because it is a bit like numbness, or rather a state where a hand, for example, becomes numb. Mouth tingling It doesn’t happen to me very often, but it is quite annoying. It makes it difficult for me to eat or apply makeup normally, and the tingling of my lips distracts me a lot. In this regard, I would appreciate an explanation of what causes tingling lips?
I tried to change or discontinue make-up products because I was betting that tingling lips was a symptom of allergy. It didn’t help at all, though, and my lips feel tingling even when I’m not wearing makeup. Sometimes my mouth tingles several times a day, and sometimes for days it doesn’t. I would appreciate an explanation of the cause of the tingling mouth? What are possible causes of tingling lips? And most importantly, is the tingling in the mouth at all dangerous? Anyway, I would like to find ways to tingle my mouth, because it is terribly annoying. Will I need to see a doctor? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question.
The doctor explains the reasons for the appearance of tingling in the mouth
Tingling feelingWe call “ants” paresthesias. The causes of paresthesia in the mouth area there may be many. One of them is an allergy – not only to the make-up cosmetics used, but also to care, toothpaste, fruit or vegetables. The use of these products or the consumption of foods to which we are allergic can lead to tingling sensation on the lips or inside the mouth.
Other causes of oral paresthesia include hypocalcemia, i.e. calcium deficiency in blood. This can cause a tingling sensation in various parts of the body, including the mouth. Hypocalcaemia is most common in people who have had their parathyroid glands removed or have a severe vitamin D deficiency.
Also in the case of other vitamin deficiencies, paresthesia of the mouth area – vitamin B12 and folate may occur. These are vitamins responsible, among others for the health of the nervous system. Not providing sufficient amounts of vitamin with food. B12 and folate can lead to many nervous system symptoms, including a tingling sensation in the mouth.
Hypoglycemia is another cause it can cause paresthesia of the mouth. Hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose levels, can occur when treating diabetes, particularly with insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs.
Also, psychiatric diseases can manifest as tingling around the mouth, especially in patients suffering from anxiety disorders or depression. Oral paraesthesia may also be one symptom of these conditions.
I strongly suggest going to your GP who can do a thorough history, conduct a physical examination, and order basic tests. In case of doubts or indications, the doctor may also refer the patient to a specialist in the field of, for example, neurology. Epilepsy can also manifest as paresthesia attacks, which are called partial seizures. Multiple sclerosis can also cause paresthesia of the face or other parts of the body, and may be mild or severe in severity.
Burning Mouth Syndrome should also be mentioned, ie the burning and tingling sensation in the mouth caused by a disease that damages the nerves, such as diabetes, oral cavity infection or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
It is always worth taking good care of your lips. For this purpose, order the SPF15 Panthenol lipstick, which you can buy on Medonet Market at a promotional price.
