A member asked:

I feel like something is crawling on top of my head sometimes it feels itchy but it only happens on the left side of my head what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If problem, see doc: You may be experiencing scalp (skin) problems. You may also have a peripheral nerve irritation. If problematic, then do get this assessed by your clinician. Hope that helps.
