Sensation like skin crawling

Hi
For several months I have been getting this weird sensation that my skin is crawling.  This happens just behind my right shoulder blade in exactly the same place every time.  It generally happens for no reason that I can fathom.  It is a sort of itching sensation and then a sensation that there is something crawling under my skin.  When I rub it with my fingers it disappears for a while but inevitably it returns within a few minutes.  There is no pain involved.
Would be interested to find out if there is a medical explanation for this!
Many thanks
Lola

I have lots of what appears to be Morgellons symptoms...and early on alot of the itching/crawling was near my shoulderblades.  Sometimes not all the Morgellons symptoms are present initially.  But one of the things that has helped me most, at least while in bed, is covering the mattress with a cheap vinyl zippered cover from Target, and wiping it down with vinegar whenever I change the sheets.  (Change them as often as you can.)  Anybody with a rash or sores and stuff coming out or off of your body, in addition to the itching/crawling/biting, look into Morgellons.

   I use Gold Bond anti-itch on my shoulders - it stops the itch/crawling bug sensation long enough to get to sleep.

I am a very spiritual person and have accepted the ransom sacrifice of Jesus our Lord and Savior - and i still have this problem... It is not caused by sin or by
Satan.  This is a real dis-ease.
