Crawling/ itching feeling under skin

Please help me..  I have started feeling like there is something crawling under my skin..  I first felt it on my arms now my face around my lips and eyebrows.  I have started pulling my eyebrows out and when I look at the tips I see a clear hard buildup of some sort.  

My back itches/ feels like something is crawling on my legs, face and arms.

Its like something is under my skin and attaches to my hair and forms a mass on each strand of hair....

I dont know what is wrong but please help me...  

I drink bottles of Benadryl to try to stop the itching and crawing feeling but it does not last long....

Some of  have what is called Morgellons disease, a disease the CDC despite numerous presented evidence and proof from various medical and scientific experts, will declare it as a case of delusional parasitosis , this is indeed not the case in many of these cases, researching this further you will then begin to see this Morgellons  reported by what society would call " addicts" but if you get past those results then you will see this is a epidemic that effects all living organisms, animal, plant, insect, human, its a nasty bug that im afraid isnt easy to be rid of then once your able to manage riding it, your not guaranteed to not be reinfected, i know this because i have had it for 6 months approximately, i am not here to push an agenda nor am i here to scare, i am here to answer a question asked and i have given you my answer based on my symptoms that are similiar to others here, as for a cure or remedy, for the itching use gold bonds powder or even better baking soda, to try and rid myself of this nightmare i am using collidal silver , apple cider vinegar with mother earth, and baking soda, alkaline state body not highly acidic and diet is said to rid the ' parasite" from your body,

This affliction can be overwhelming mentally with the physical, hang in there, dont pick at your skin, you can cause it to spread all over yourself faster then it already is. shower two three times a day to help remove bio film associated with this and keep dry, humidity doesnt help, there are answers out there and lots of us suffers discovered methods thru trial and error, you will eventually find what works for you, but have no set regiment, what works today sometimes dont work tomorrow so have a little arsenal of recommended combat components on deck, and stay away from all GMO.

Hope this helps.

Just a girl who was hit with a dose of bad luck.

God will help
I had the same thing it's healing now. I had it for about a year. It was a skin infection under the first layer of skin. It was in that middle tissue area it attached to my hair and muscles at the end when I realized it wasn't acne. I was on 2 different antibiotics for almost 3 months now. I think when you feel super crawly and itchy is when it took a long time to develop so just be patient but the antibiotics wasn't the only thing that helped I am 100% sure that if you don't try to also keep your skin on the outside disinfected it doesn't kill it enough to get it to start healing. I used a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide a little salicylic acid and also apple cider vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle once a day before taking shower to break up the bacteria in the back of my neck hairs and behind my ears and eyebrows. I'm pretty sure I had Staph and some other kind of stubborn bacteria forming nodules and boils with my hair first and was hiding in Nasal cavity. It was a sucker for sure I also used a lot of tree tree oil and triple antibiotic ointment on raw areas and inside my nose too (were it likes to hide) I also got an ear infection during the Process of it and had to get an antibiotic injection because of the pain at one point during the process at the hospital because the bacteria localized behind my right ear at one point. It's stubborn it will die eventually just keep up on antibiotics and hygiene. It's a slow horrendously uncomfortable healing process. Weird shut will come out of your skin. Necrotic tissue looks nuts and can look like dandelion flower fibers that u blow in the wind to crazy stringy blue and red and white fibers. Bit chill out this is normal. U probably with it like me for a few years before u noticed it taking over the healing isn't going to be any quicker stay Patient have piece relax eat well and keep up on medicine and antibiotics and it will go away. Hope this helps. -jenneen

I have been dealing with itching under my skin for several years.  Usually just my hands and feat and only at night time after winding down from a long day.  I went to my own Dr for fatigue and dizziness and my Kidneys are acting up a little creatinine is 124 GFR 47 I believe.  Dr was worried I may be dehydrated so asked me to drink more fluids,  My itching is not even tolerable now and it is all day and my entire body itches,   I feel like jumping out of my skin.  I have tried allergy pills and flonase which she prescribed but it is doing nothing for this severe itching.  Any thoughts?
