Hello,
Formication is a sensation like insects are crawling under the skin when there are none. Delusional parasitosis is another name for it. It is a psychiatric illness.
I suggest you consult a psychiatrist rather than a skin specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
