Information:
I'm a 13-year-old female. Perfectly healthy, hardly get sick, exercise for an hour everyday, healthy weight but more on the skinny side, no medical conditions except Alopecia Areata, etc.

What Happened:
Out of the blue, doing nothing in particular except cleaning my room, I feel an ice-cold drop on the left side of my nose. I feel it start to travel down slowly, until it's about an inch of coldness (I was inside, the room was a comfortable temperature, so it was not sweat or anything). I went to go wipe it off, only to feel that there was no wetness on my face, and it continued to remain cold. It stayed like that for nearly 2 minutes, then stopped. Was it just something with the nerve and I have nothing to worry about?

    Well, not to scare you but people who are Diabetics
    get them same exact symptoms that is how nerve damage
    ( Neuropathy)acts on people who have Diabetes and there
    is another illness called Bell's Palsy.

    The cause of Bell's palsy is not clear. Most cases are
    thought to be caused by the herpes virus that causes
    cold sores. In most cases of Bell's palsy, the nerve
    that controls muscles on one side of the face is
    damaged by inflammation. Many health problems can
    cause weakness or paralysis of the face.

    Bell's palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis
    resulting from damage or trauma to the facial nerves.
    The facial nerve-also called the 7th cranial nerve-
    travels through a narrow, bony canal (called the
    Fallopian canal) in the skull, beneath the ear,
    to the muscles on each side of the face.

    While Bell's palsy is not contagious, shingles blisters
    are infectious. Contact with an open blister by someone
    who has never had chickenpox can result in transmission
    of the virus. The result will be chickenpox, not shingles
    or facial paralysis.

    Bell's palsy can occur at any age but is most common at
    around age 40. Men and women are affected equally. Every
    year about 15 to 30 people out of 100,000 get Bell's palsy.
    The cause of Bell's palsy is not completely understood but
    is believed to be caused by a viral infection that causes
    swelling of the facial nerve.

    Many other illnesses or deficiency's can cause Neuropathy
    or Nerve Damage and can also be temporary while other cases
    can be permanent but will not get worst once treatment to
    ones illness is treated the Nerve Damage can go away I know
    my legs, feet can get real cold and the temperature in the
    house can real hot also itching is another symptom of both
    Diabetes as well as Neuropathy or Nerve Damage.

    There may be another illness associated with Alopecia Areata
    that could be causing you to develop Neuropathy or Nerve Damage
    also do you notice any numbness in your fingers, feet, legs
    do you notice any facial cooling sensations ( meaning cooling
    sensations of your face). Do you notice any skin burning on any
    part of your body ( Feet, Hands, Legs, Fingers)...?

    What your experiencing could very well be Anxiety that is causing
    these cooling sensations on your face or it can be stress related
    you may be stressed out about things too also cooling sensations
    could be due to having low blood sugar, do you get real hungry,
    Shakiness, Tremors also dry skin might be causing your symptoms as well too..?
