I've been having these sharp pains right behind my ear that come and go pretty quickly. It's like there's also this weird pressure that builds up behind my head and sometimes makes me feel dizzy. Should I be worried about this? Is this something you've seen before, and what might be causing it?

The sharp pain behind your ear, accompanied by pressure behind the head and dizziness, could be related to various factors, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or tension headaches; to alleviate symptoms, try applying warm compresses, practicing relaxation techniques, and maintaining good posture, and consider consulting a healthcare professional, such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm dealing with this weird sensation where it feels like there are tiny bugs crawling under the skin on my right leg. There's no itchiness, pain, or visible red bumps, but it just feels strange like something is moving around beneath the surface, mostly in my legs. It's really bothering me and I can't seem to get any sleep. Could you please suggest how to treat this or maybe recommend some medicine?

This sensation you are experiencing could be due to a condition called Formication. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Additionally, you can use a topical cream containing Calamine to soothe the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
