Welcome to the neurology forum of medhelp. Thanks for writing in. common causes if tingling lips and face include food allergies. These are peanuts, treenut, fish, shell fish, food additives like sulphite or mono sodium glutamate. Allergic conditions to cosmetics, soaps etc. the other cause is hypocalcemia, hypokalemia and deranged sodium, potassium or phosphate levels. Hypoglycemia in diabetics etc can also cause perioral tingling. Raynaud’s disease or phenomenon causes tingling and numbness in lips, nose ears, nipples , fingers or toes, changing from white to blue to red on exposure to cold. It is seen in systemic sclerosis, SLE or rheumatoid arthritis. Infections like shingles and leprosy, neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and trigeminal neuralgia. I hope this information helps. Please feel free to ask me anything if required.
