What does Bell's Palsy affect?
No, it cannot, because Bell's Palsy, by definition, is a paralysis of facial muscles caused by an inflammation of the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). If any other part of the body is affected, then the condition is not Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy is not the only condition or disease that can cause paralysis of the face.
What is the difference between bells palsy that has your eye open and the bells palsy where your eye is almost closed?
There is only one Bell's Palsy condition, which is characterized by parital facial paralysis on one side of the face. Depending on the severity, the eye might be able to be help open (which is normal in Bell's Palsy patients), or, if the infection was very severe, the nerves might be so affected that the eye would merely constantly remain closed, or close to being closed. This is the only difference between the 2 situations that you describe that I can see.
Can shingles cause bells palsy?
Shingles can cause Bell's Palsy indirectly. The herpes zoster virus sometimes breaks out into shingles. The shingles may cause blistering in the area of the Facial Nerve (Cranial VII nerve) which controls the muscles on one side of the face or the other. This inflammation, not the shingles, is what causes Bell's Palsy. When shingles and Bell's Palsy are interrelated like this, it is called Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.
Your lower left part of your chin has been numb for two weeks without novacain do you have a bruised or pinched nerve or Bells Palsy?
Bell's palsy is a paralysis. If you can still move the muscles located in that region, you don't have bell's palsy. Also, Bell's Palsy paralyzes the entire half of the face, and does not always cause numbness, just inability to control muscle movement. I can't really tell you weather or not it's a pinched nerve, but it doesn't sound like bell's palsy.

Can bells palsy cause bleeding from ear?
Not likely, as Bell's Palsy merely affects the trigeminal and/or facial nerves of the face. Bleeding from the ear can be caused by numerous other things, such as concussions, ear infections, or injury. Consult an emergency physician with any ear bleeding as it has a high likelihood of being serious.
