I've been experiencing this strange sensation on my hands, neck, and legs like something crawling on my skin, but there's nothing there. It's like the hair on my skin is moving or standing up. I don't have any itching or rashes, though. This just started happening yesterday, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Should I see a doctor, or is there something I can do at home?

I'm seeing this hickey-like mark on my leg, and I'm a bit worried. It doesn't itch or feel raised, but it just kind of appears and disappears on its own. Could this be a sign of something else going on?

#NAME?

I've been trying to understand how often PRP treatment can be done because different clinics are saying different things. Some say they would apply the treatment twice a month over three months if the hair doesn't grow, which adds up to six times in three months. Is this frequency safe and effective? I'm concerned about whether there's a standard or if overdoing it could have side effects.

Yes continue as advised by the dermatologist.
