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.

Question

I've been dealing with this throbbing sensation near my temple since last October. My physician put me on Restyl for a week and then switched me to Librax, which I've been on for the past two months. But the heaviness and occasional throbbing are still there. Any idea what's going on? Is there something else I should be doing or taking?
