What Causes Insect Crawling Sensation On Face And Hair Line?
Hi my name is El, I am going a little crazy because I have this sensation of an insect crawling on my face and around my hair line. I sleep with a flash light and magnifying glass in my bed trying to see what it is. I get this feeling every where I go not only in my home. Please help me.

Hi,
How long you are having this problem? Are you suffering from anxiety or any other form of mental stress?
This is a form of hallucination(formication) that can be caused by conditions like anxiety, schizophrenia or substance abuse.
I would recommend you consult a psychiatrist for evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
