    Re: Facial muscle problem

    Just wondering if you have numbness or reduced sensation on the affected skin? And any skin changes elsewhere, or only the right cheek?
    Have you had Hansen's disease ruled out? It is a bacterial infection that is easily treated with specific antibiotics. It can change skin colour and cause dry skin and facial nerve paralysis. It sometimes causes lumps under the skin (but they usually don't last 10 years), or other unusual symptoms.

    Re: Facial muscle problem

    Thanks anne.tlm for your views. No it's not Hansen's disease (Leprosy) because I have full sensation of the skin in the right cheek.
    I have got some opinions that it's actually Bell's Palsy or facial nerve injury. It has been occurred due to that infected sebaceous cyst or cellulitis.
