I'm dealing with this weird sensation where it feels like there are tiny bugs crawling under the skin on my right leg. There's no itchiness, pain, or visible red bumps, but it just feels strange like something is moving around beneath the surface, mostly in my legs. It's really bothering me and I can't seem to get any sleep. Could you please suggest how to treat this or maybe recommend some medicine?

This sensation you are experiencing could be due to a condition called Formication. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Additionally, you can use a topical cream containing Calamine to soothe the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been getting these strange muscle twitches in my bicep on the left arm. They aren't constant, but I've noticed them more when I'm just chilling out. It doesn't hurt or really bother me physically, but each time it happens, I can't help but feel a bit on edge and worried. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned? Just trying to understand what's going on.

That common in many no need to worry as its momentary and causes no pain,once get your Calcium and electrolytes get checked.
