I get that pretty often. Like I thought there was an ant or mosquito but when I look at it, there's nothing there. I know it sounds weird but sometimes it does feel like something is crawling under your skin.

I watched this show on Animal Planet called Eaten Alive and it was about parasites. One man on the show that was telling about the parasite he had gotten on a vacation and it said that it feels like there's something crawling on the skin but there won't be anything there. I forgot what the name of the parasite is. I'm not exactly sure but it could be a parasite. You might want to get a doctor to check it out!

Dang, that just sounds creepy! How about scabi's? They crawl under your skin. Various reactions to medications can cause a similar sensation.

just found a post about a family that felt like bugs crawling on them and turns out it was mold spores so maybe check your home for mold. we have same problem and are checking for mold. can't hurt to check. this problem is driving us nuts. good luck. God Bless

That sort of psychosomatic response happens to everyone and is normal. Every time someone says 'headlice', 'fleas' or 'mosquitos' I start itching like crazy. I just did then after typing it.

Seriously this can be casued by a neuro-muscular disorientation and also with some diseas. I am pointing out the physical causes only. Please dont treat this as a psychological problem and seek help from a medical professional

This happens to me a lot too, especially after I see something like a spider or a tick or something like that, even scorpions. Sometimes I feel like they may eat my brain, but usually I just cut myself.

Yes, But I think it's your nerves you have a lot on your mind. It's happen to me. On my lower leg or behind my leg. Sometimes on my arm. it's normal.
