Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Sometimes I get a feeling that bugs/small ants are crawling under my skin, but it is only on my back. It happens mostly at night. I ll scratch until it stops it just started happening maybe a few months ago. I haven t changed my detergent, I moisturize my skin and Im woke not dreaming. It s very annoying.
