What Causes Crawling And Itching Sensations In The Body?
Question: Hi Doctor,
My skin is kind of itches sometimes. not exactly itching , some times i feel that something is moving around. This happens sometimes not all the time. Earlier i had developed small red blisters on my skin for which i consulted a DR, he told me not to worry and i found that its hereditary. To make sure everything is fine Doctor asked me to get LFT tests done which are normal. All the values are within the normal range. No red rashes. What might be the cause?

I do not have picture because i do not have any rashes as such. As i mentioned earlier i get itching only sometimes .I feel something is moving around the skin.I do not have any medical problem apart from migraine headache. The doctor did not give me any prescription as it was hereditary.
Brief Answer:
Hereditary
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is difficult to judge the cause in such a case.
You mention it to be hereditary so the cause is hereditary and I am sure after so many visits the doctors would have zeroed in the diagnosis.
You can ask your doctor to give a safe medicines to numb the feeling of crawls. It will take your mind away from these unnecessary sensations. They are available which would numb.
ALOE VERA gel is safer alternative which can numb the feeling when you have it.
