Chin numbness?

Post by Deamo » Thu Jan 20, 2022 8:07 pm

I've been using a full face mask for about 6 months. I just noticed my chin is somewhat numb. What can this be? Worried. :(

Does the numbness come and go or is it always there even long after removing the mask?

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Aren't all chins numb? Chin tactility seems elusive.

No, my chin is not numb--it only has been after dental Novocaine.
As a diabetic, I am always checking my feet and fingers for lapses of sensation.
So far--so good.

It stays like this. Could this be a silicone allergy?

If by "soon", you are hoping to do so at your annual "wellness check",
you will need to make a "real" appointment.
The wellness check is only for filling out questionnaires and stuff.
BTW, these visits are VOLUNTARY, and are mostly revenue generating.
They also occupy time sorely needed during the pandemic.
Our local risk dial is in the red zone--a really bad time to be around sick people.
