What Does Crawling Sensation On The Skin Indicate?

I have this feeling of something crawling on my skin. However, I’ve checked my skin, i don’t see anything. I get the feeling through out the day but mainly at night. I do take medicine, I take concerta (please excuse my spelling). I also have exsama (I can’t spell this one ) it’s my skin problem. What am I experiencing?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

As per the clinical experience of long-term, I consider this as a psychological issue rather than physical in most of the cases. Only in a minority of patients, there is a viral lesion or neurological disorder which can present as this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
