Hi,
A few months ago I discovered a small (hard) lump on left cheek. It was when I was preparing lunch for some guests we had invited over that the left side of my face started tingling, getting numb and pulling. I had noticed that my chin was itchy and sometimes the tip of my nose. After I discovered this lump and it began to hurt, I immediately went to priority care where the doctor ordered a Cat Scan thinking it might be stroke related (due to family history)since he could not find the lump. Cat Scan came back negative and I decided to make an appointment with my PCP. My PCP immediately said to me "you definetely have something on your cheek" then referred me to an ENT. After being on antibiotic (he thought I my node was infected). Another Cat Scan was issued but this time with contrast. He found nothing and he belives that the lump is part of my face. He thinks I am crazy because I kept complaining of pain, tingling and numbness. I am very scared!
