What Causes Itchy Rashes With Crawling Sensation On The Body?

My skin is itchy with a crawling sensation and broken out in rash that appears as acne and/or razor rash. No matter what I do or use, nothing works. I ve tried antibiotics and all the acne medicines, both natural and synthetic. I have had this problem for the past 3 years and seems to get more intense each year. I also have had blood work and have seen many doctors who cannot seem to figure it out and keep referring me to other doctors. I have never had this problem until 3 years ago and it slowly developed; it was not an overnight change, so I have no clues as to the cause. Help?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes with crawling sensation on the body, well this is body's response to any external stimuli that irritates skin. It could sometimes occurs due to contact dermatitis, diabetes , depression , multiple sclerosis , deficiency of vitamin B 12 or anemia, allergic reaction and severe eczema. Need not to worry. For now take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl , give cold compresses to affected area several times and apply cream containing steroids . I would suggest you to immediately consult dermatologist or doctor for proper evaluation of the condition and treatment. Doctor may perform skin test and patch test to find extent of infection. Doctor can give adrenaline injection. Maintain hygiene completely.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
