Is a numb face itchy a sign of improvement?

Patient's question:

My sister-in-law had facial paralysis before, and recently she said her face has been a bit itchy. Is it getting better with facial paralysis and itching?

Doctor's answer:

A person with facial paralysis has experienced itching again, which could be due to interference after acupuncture, or it might be caused by the use of certain medications. It is important to pay close attention and observe carefully. If there is no rash, it is not a problem. However, if there is a rash, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of an allergic reaction.
People with facial paralysis should remember to undergo a lot of massage, therapy, or cold compresses to improve local blood circulation, which is beneficial for the complete recovery of the nerves.
