Decreased or Loss of Sense of Touch
When a person's fingers are numb, they may lose their sense of touch, but they may also lose their sense of pain in the affected area. This may cause the individual to injure themselves without realizing it.
Hypoesthesia, as it is medically known, is a partial loss of sensation in a part of the body. Anesthesia is the total loss of sensation. In addition to losing the sensation of pain and touch, the person may also lose their ability to sense temperature.
