Hello,
I do not access to your age but in case you are someone above 50 years of age I feel the possibility of delusional parasitosis need to be ruled out while evaluating the condition. This is form of disorder which often affects elderly population with some form of sensory deprivation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar,
