I'm genuinely worried about my mom. Shes been feeling this creepy crawling sensation under her skin, like ants biting her, and it's been happening several times throughout the day. It's mostly in the upper part of her body but seems to be spreading. This has been going on for over a month, and she's tried allergy meds like Atarax and Candiforce, but nothing's helping. And shes also diabetic, which adds to my concerns. Im not sure which specialist we should consult. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been feeling this odd sensation and burning in her left leg, specifically between the knee and thigh. I was doing some reading online and it seems really similar to something called Meralgia Paraesthetica. This all started after she had laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder stones back in October 2016. It's not always there, but when it does show up, it seems to be happening more often now. I'm really hoping for some advice on how we could help her feel better. Should we be seeing a certain type of doctor for this?

The symptoms your mother describes could indeed align with **Meralgia Paresthetica**, which occurs due to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. I recommend consulting a **neurologist** for a detailed evaluation. In the meantime, measures like avoiding tight clothing, maintaining a healthy weight, and physical therapy may help alleviate symptoms.
