Yes, I have neuropathy in my face. i am sorry you are experiencing it also.
My face neuropathy came from having Lyme Disease.
It is the worst in cold weather. Having cold air from something like a car air conditioner hit my face is awful too. It is the worst on my right so I always have to sleep on my left side.

I control my neuropathy with Lyrica and Hydrocodone. B vitamins.
I also use lidocaine/prilocaine cream.
I avoid sugar and spicy foods.
I have done sensitivity work and that will work for awhile.
I have done hypnosis for pain control.
I do chi-gong, tai chi, meditation in groups or guided imagery via YouTube or dvd's.
From time to time I get cervical spine ESI's(Epidural Steroid Injection).

I truly hope your neuropathy does not progress any further.
take care, D.
