Question 1

what could be the cause of crawling sensation on scalp and body for months with normal brain and spine mri and blood tests?

Accepted Answer

Crawling sensation: in skin. If this comes and goes the first test I would order would be an EEG.  Remind your neurologist,that you are having "positive" symptoms ( eg. flashing lights , sounds, crawling sensation etc)  I'm not sure why you got the MRI of the head unless your EEG confirmed a focal abnormality or MS is suspected.

See doctor 2 examine: You will need to see a doctor to identify the cause of both the itching, and the hair loss. This is difficult to do without us a physical examination of your scalp.

Shampoos, coloring solutions could be  too harsh.
