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.

I've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?
The healing time for a ripped nail at the base of the thumb can take around 6-12 weeks for the nail bed to fully recover, and 3-6 months for the nail to regrow completely; as for the lunula, it's likely that the exposed area will fill in with new nail growth, but the shape and appearance of the lunula might be altered, and it may not perfectly restore to its original half-moon shape.
