Hi
thanks for writing to health care magic.

It seems you are suffering from parasitophobia.

It is a disorder where there is feeling of insect crawling all over body.Crawling sensation is due to some neural disturbances and not due to insects.

It will be better if you consult a psychiatrist who will treat you accordingly.You need to undergo proper counseling sessions .

I hope this can solve your query.Take care.
