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.

Im considering electrolysis for hair removal, but Im unsure if it actually guarantees permanent results or if it's just another method for hair reduction like laser. Could you explain the potential side effects or downsides of electrolysis treatment?

I've been using Skinlite cream since January 2017, but when I stopped, I noticed my nose and mouth area getting darker. I just saw a dermatologist in Warangal, and he recommended some tablets and Nadibact gel. I feel really self-conscious at work when talking to my colleagues because of this. Is there a way to lighten my skin again? Can you help me figure out what to do next?

Yes it will become normal with time,follow your doctors advice
