Can scalp numbness after facial injury be caused my nerve damage?

Yesterday I lacerated the center of my left eyebrow diagonally down into muscle. It is stitched up and still swollen. The scalp on that side of my face is completely numb, and after 20 hours I assume the local anesthetic should be worn off. Are there nerves that may go through the eyebrow up to the scalp? If so can swelling cause it to go numb? If so or if it is cut, what might be done about it?
