What Causes Crawling Sensation On The Skin?

I have been infected with a parasite since my daughter-in-law came back from a trip to Spain 3 years ago. She got diagnosed with scabies and one other parasite that I never got the name of as she died in a car wreck before I realized that I too had contracted her infection. I have been to several dermatologists whom have never scraped my skin or asked to try to diagnose me. They simply give me Premethrine and send me out of their office. One doctor told me I had dry skin. My family thinks I am nuts as you cannot see these things but I can catch them as they are crawling on me., They are tiny and you can barely see them. They become white when they get wet otherwise they are almost see-thru. Literally, you can feel the tiny things but you cannot see them. I am assuming they use my face to go to the bathroom on as my face tastes dirty at time around my mouth and I have spit them out of my mouth. This is how I know they become white. Where should I go to get this diagnosed I am with cancer treatment right now and I am miserable with these things. AND I AM NOT NUTS
