Why Does One Have A Crawling Sensation On The Skin?

Good evening, I m a 15 years old female and I m concerned. I have some sort of crawling sensation on and in my skin on different parts of my body, mostly (and lately) on/in my foot, and sometimes on/in my stomach. It s not something unusual, it s always been there too.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of crawling sensation, my treatment advice is -
1. You may be having vitamin b12 deficiency.
2. Take healthy nutritious food full of green leafy vegetables, milk, honey as these are rich sources of b12.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
