I'm genuinely worried about my mom. Shes been feeling this creepy crawling sensation under her skin, like ants biting her, and it's been happening several times throughout the day. It's mostly in the upper part of her body but seems to be spreading. This has been going on for over a month, and she's tried allergy meds like Atarax and Candiforce, but nothing's helping. And shes also diabetic, which adds to my concerns. Im not sure which specialist we should consult. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I've been feeling this really weird cold sensation in my right shoulder since last night, like there's a very cold AC blowing right on it. This happened after I twisted myself a bit while trying to adjust my car seat's headrest, which was a bit awkward, and then I sat through a 2-hour movie. My shoulder doesnt hurt, and I can move my arm perfectly fine without any redness or swelling, but this cold feeling is just odd. What could be going on here?

It could be a muscular spasm. as of now, you can apply a diclogel over the area and take a tablet zerodol TH8 twice a day after food for 2 days. it should reduce, if it doesn't, then you need to consult a orthopaedician in person for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling this warm sensation in my right foot's toes. Its not there all the time, just comes and goes. Theres no pain, but it feels like warm air is blowing over them. What could this be?

Your symptoms could be suggestive of diabetic neuropathy. You should undergo a panel of investigations for diabetes and begin treatment as soon as possible. If you are a known patient of diabetes mellitus who is already on treatment, you may have to visit your regular physician to recalibrate your ongoing medication and possibly include neuropathy medication.
