Good evening, doctor. Lately, I've been experiencing this weird sensation like something is crawling on my skin from the inside, almost like bugs or insects. It happens all day and night, but especially at night, it's so bad it wakes me up and I can't sleep because of the fear. I don't see anything on my skin from the outside, but the feeling is definitely there. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
The sensation you're describing, feeling like something is crawling on your skin from the inside, is known as formication. This can be a distressing and disruptive symptom. Possible Causes: 1. Anxiety or stress: High levels of anxiety or stress can cause formication. 2. Neurological conditions: Certain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy can cause formication. 3. Skin conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can cause formication. 4. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or magnesium can cause formication. 5. Medication side effects: Certain medications, such as antidepressants or antihistamines, can cause formication as a side effect. What to Do: 1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a dermatologist to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. Keep a symptom journal: Track when the sensations occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. Practice stress-reducing techniques: Engage in activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. 4. Get enough sleep: Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve sleep quality. 5. Avoid stimulants: Reduce or avoid consumption of caffeine, nicotine, and other stimulants that can exacerbate anxiety and formication. Additional Tips: 1. Keep your skin moisturized: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. 2. Avoid scratching: Try to resist the urge to scratch, as this can further irritate your skin and worsen the sensation. 3. Consider cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A therapist can help you address underlying anxiety or stress contributing to your formication.

I'm dealing with allergies and these really bothersome skin rashes. Plus, I've got these painful oozing bumps on my scalp. It seems like I react to a lot of good stuff and it gets worse in hot, humid weather. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Allergies and skin rashes along with oozing scalp bumps can be indicative of a condition such as atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) to manage your allergies. For the skin rashes, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation. Additionally, for the oozing scalp bumps, you may benefit from using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide, such as Nizoral shampoo, to help with scalp inflammation. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.
