I have had the most excruciatingly painful PN on my poor face. I would always check it in the mirror to make sure it was ok because I couldn't believe the intensity of the pain there. I believe the skin on the face is a tad more sensitive than other areas of the body. I had lighting like pain across my cheeks and on my eyes.

It's not as bad as it use to be. Not as bad by half. But since there are peripheral nerves in the face than the possibilty does exist that anyone with PN may get it in there head/face too.
