Numbness in my right leg and arm

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

For about 2 weeks now, I have had numbness in my leg and arm on my right side. I noticed it when shaving my legs. It feels like your chin area after having dental work done when you are poking it and rubbing it, so I can feel it a bit, but it is pretty numb. No medical conditions or further symptoms. I have tried poking it pinching myself in the same place with same amount of pressure on both legs at the same time to compare, hoping it feels the same and it doesn’t.
