Crawling sensation

I have heard that a crawling sensation under the skin can be parts of menopause. Is this true, and what causes it? My right foot has started having this crawling sensation. It feels like something is crawling on my foot and lower ankle. It will stop and then move to another area of my foot. It has just started. I keep looking down to make sure that ants or something is not on me. Is this normal.

had this and one thing worked- mix tea tree oil a few drops into any lotion for sensitive skin (I tried Biotique;s morning nectar) and rub into the affected areas once or twice a day. For me it was on my feet, and it went away after the treatment. Recurs every now and then thou
