OP Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,627 | The nerve that goes to my lower right lip was cut during surgery, so that half of my lower lip is numb all the way down that side of my chin also. For the past two months or so I have had daily episodes of my chin and bottom lip getting the most intense, DEEP itch. That's the only way I can think to describe it, DEEP. I feel like it's down deep inside but of course itching that area does nothing as I have no feeling there. I have to wait for it to go away. It's not painful, I can't explain what it is, lol. I also have alot of tingling there lately. Does anyone else get this? Minnie
