I've been feeling something moving all over my body, kind of like ants crawling. It's really irritating and sometimes I get pimples that look like ant bites. Could you help me figure out if this is some sort of worm or infection?

Could be due to a condition called Formication, where a person feels like insects are crawling on or under their skin. This sensation can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, drug use, or certain medical conditions. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) to help with the itching and irritation.
