I've been experiencing this strange crawling sensation just below my skin, and it's affecting my entire right leg. Should I be worried about this? And if so, can you tell me which kind of doctor I should see?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A crawling sensation under the skin can be unsettling. It's essential to consult a doctor to determine the cause. You can start by visiting:
- General Physician: Rule out underlying medical conditions.
- Dermatologist: Examine skin-related issues, such as eczema, psoriasis, or skin infections.
- Neurologist: Investigate nerve-related conditions, like neuropathy or nerve damage.
Possible causes include:
- Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
- Nerve issues (neuropathy, nerve damage)
- Insect bites or infestations
- Poor circulation
- Nutritional deficiencies
Seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I've been using this AQUASOFT moisturizing cream from Ajanta Pharma for about 2 years now. I've been thinking, are there any side effects I should be aware of from using it for this long? Can you help me understand if there's anything I should look out for?
Aquasoft cream by Ajanta Pharma is generally considered safe, but long-term use can lead to potential side effects like skin irritation, allergic reactions, or dependence on the moisturizer, so it's recommended to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to reassess your skin's needs.

I've been really worried about these itchy rashes that have come back again on my body, and I'm not sure why they're happening. A while back, I had rashes on my face and scalp, and after seeing a local doctor, I found out I had a high IGE level of 930. The meds seemed to help back then, and my rashes went away, but now they're back even though my IGE level is down to 330. I stumbled upon something online about Staphylococcus aureus possibly being the cause, and on top of all this, I'm dealing with digestion problems. I'm really confused and would love some guidance to figure out what's going on. Could these issues be connected, or am I looking in the wrong direction?
Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the nose, which can cause infections, including skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and impetigo; given your history of recurring itchy rashes, high IgE levels, and digestion problems, it's possible that S. aureus is contributing to your symptoms, especially since S. aureus can produce toxins that exacerbate skin conditions and may also be linked to gut health issues; consult a dermatologist or an allergist to discuss
