Could Back And Hair Crawling Sensations Be Due An Allergy?

I feel like I have something crawling up and down my back or in my hair. I haven t been able to see anything. I have a dog and he has been itching, but the veterinarian says she feels that it is a food allergy and not mites. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

hi, what u are feeling is known as paresthesia in medical terms means prickling,tingling sensation.Since how long u r feeling this u havenot mentioned which is impotant in this case.U can take any antihistaminic available OTC and temporary resolve your problem,if problem persist then contact your physician for further investigations.
Don't take advise from vertarnary doctor as he knows nothing about humans.Take care
