Brief Answer:
Antihistaminic drugs and fumigation against insects and flies

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
The crawling objects on your body and on your bed could be crawling insects.
I suggest you to firstly take an anti-histaminic to prevent itching and irritation caused by the insects.
In addition, I suggest you to fumigate your house against insects and flies.
Kindly, consult your primary healthcare provider for prescription of anti-histaminic.
