Question 1

feels like something crawling in my head, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

I really don't know.: It is one thing if it feels like something is crawling on your skin or just under the skin. But your description implies something deeper. I wouldn't feel comfortable guessing about the cause.  The only way to get an accurate diagnosis will be a medical evaluation.

Question 2

if you feel like something is crawling on your head is that lice?

Accepted Answer

I think the first: ....thing you should do is find out if it IS lice.  It's virtually impossible to see your own head SO SEE A DOCTOR!.  Other things can cause this creepy-crawly sensation, certain cold medications for example, but lice definitely need to be looked for before you start wondering what else it could be.  Dr. Anne

Question 3

feels like there is something crawling in my hair just on one little spot on the top of my head on the left. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

A bug?: Have a friend or use a mirror to examine the scalp. The nervous system is very sensitive. If you feel something crawling there probably is something crawling.

Question 4

hi my neck hurt and the back of my head hurt when i touch it or lay down  my head hurt all over and it feels like something is crawling across it ?

Accepted Answer

Neck and head pain: From what you are describing it sounds like you are having muscle spasms in the muscle in the neck up into the back of your head.    These spasms can feel like something crawling across your neck/back of head.   Without more information its tough to be more specific  -  Try moist heating pad and some advil or aleve (naproxen).   If it continues or you have numbness in the arms please see a doctor.

Question 5

i been having pressure and tightness on top of my head and around my head....it also be feeling like something is crawling in my head???

Accepted Answer

Head pressure: Could be anything from a migraine or tension headache or something more.  Please see your doc to rule out major physical causes and then perhaps a clinical psychologist to learn some stress management techniques.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

Ear problem : Not likely worms in your ears but you simply need to go see an ENT MD to check things out. There are many other possible explanations for your symptoms.

Question 7

feeling of ants crawling in my head on the left side ? comes and goes , no other symptoms . thanks

Accepted Answer

Tingling : This sounds like a neurological neuropathy. Usually one sided could be from trigeminal neuralgia, or TMJ from grinding your molars at night, poor jaw alignment. Another cause is low calcium levels. Tapping the trigeminal nerve can illicit twitching which can be a supporting clue of low calcium levels.

Question 8

my partner has a strange tickling sensation on the right hand side of his head. it feels like there's something crawling all over his cheek.

Accepted Answer

Tickling sensation: This symptom is often due to irritability or slight inflammation of the superficial nerves in that region. Occasionally twitching accompanies the sensation. This nuisance disorder usually resolves on its own. If symptoms persist or worsen or if signs of skin inflammation develop, see your physician for evaluation and advice.

Question 9

could demodex cause patchy hair loss and loss of eye lashes? it always feels like something crawling on my face at night time or i get really itchy in my ears too. but especially on my head face forehead cheeks ears neck sometimes?

Accepted Answer

: Highly unlikely , but demodex may be related to acneiform lesions on lower face. See dermatologist for evaluation and possible treatment for your hair loss and itching.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

You are dying: This is a classic symptom of advanced toxicity from meth. You are going to die very unpleasantly from your habit unless you get help giving it up. Even if you have so little regard for your health to have gotten yourself into this situation, think of the people who love, or used to love you. Let this thought give you the strength and courage to overcome this terrible affliction. Be brave and live.
