Formication

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

My primary told me what I have is called formication, it is a sensation of bug bites when there is nothing there. A ghost like itching and biting feeling. My question is to anyone who is experiencing this same sensation, what helps if anything?

Wenn es ganz besonder juckt und krabbelt, reibe ich erst einmal die Stellen mit etwas leichtem medizinischen Alkohol (aus der Apotheke) ab. Da das die Haut austrocknet, kreme ich danach mit einer Kreme entweder mit Aloe Vera oder TeeBaum ein.
