I was diagnosed with triigeminal neuropathy many years ago! Left side of my face. Mainly, I just live with it. Not much else I can do! Also, had Moh's micrographic surgery in 2000 close to the same area for basal cell skin cancer. Sometimes, I find I have a bit of a problem applying lipstick evenly.

Welcome, Blouf.
We also have a group of members talking about trigeminal neuralgia here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/trigeminal-neuralgia-2273cc/

My dad developed trigeminal neuralgia and he also thought it may have been a result of a MOHS surgery on his temple. He is under the care of a neurologist and the medication he is on relieves the pain but makes him sleepy. Good luck!
