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.

View allI got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?
The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

I've been getting these sudden headaches every afternoon around 5pm for the past week. They're kind of strange since they happen at the same time every day, but I don't feel dizzy when they hit. Do you think there's something I should be worried about or any idea why this might be happening?
It sounds like you might be experiencing a pattern of headaches, which could be triggered by factors like stress, dehydration, or even your daily routine. It's worth noting if certain habits or triggers correlate with the timing, and consulting with your doctor could help pinpoint the cause for proper treatment.

My dad's leg suddenly bends at the knee while he's just walking around, and it happens pretty often. There's no pain, which I guess is good, but it's still really worrying. Why does this happen, and should we be concerned?
It sounds like your father may be experiencing muscle weakness or instability in his knee. I would recommend he try using a knee brace for added support. Additionally, he can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the issue.
