Feel Crawls And Bites On Skin. Causes Skin Rash After Scratching. No Help From Home Remedies. What To Do?

I have been suffering for a half a year with a skin problem.I am ambarrassed cause I am not dirty. I am desperate and can't go on like this I beg you for some answers. I suffer from the constant feeling of something crawling in my hair and skin. I feel a little pintch then I scratch it and get a hive like rash. I have washed in bleach,bug spray,vinergar,pepper ect. How do I get this to stop because it has made me a miserable person. Sometimes I can feel it walking on my face and ears and legs and I can see nothing but feel a pinch.I feel several crawls and bites all the time no matter how many times I shower.

feeling like crawling insects may occur in those persons, who are addicted to cocaine(cocaine-bugs). It is one type of tactile hallucination. So first stop taking cocaine, in case you are addicted to it. And secondly start treament with oral tablet XXXX-2mg daily.
OR it may be a case of pediculosis corporis or pthiris pubis, in which proper laundring of cloths along with oral XXXX-25mg once daily at bedtime for about 1week may be benificial.
