Crawling sensation on side of head

So I noticed like...a month ago that I had this strange tingling sensation on the left side of my head. It felt like there were bugs crawling there (there aren't!) and then it went away for a bit. Now it's back again, and I'm worried. Twice at random intervals, I had a sharp pain over there, but I don't know what it could be. Anyone able to help?

I am suffering the same symptoms. Started in April this year. Had ct scan and lumbar puncture. Results were clear. They are pitting it down to migrane, no headache though and preassure when bending over. Does anyone have any answers as I don't want to continue taking medication I don't need.

I also feel like my skin is burning. I will go to the hospital and have them check it out.

I Have found this page looking for a condition that I was facing right now. The author of this question described the condition very well. I am feeling the exact same experience in my ear. I even went to the ER too the first time actually as well. It happens intermittently, but when they do it is very tough to deal with. I have a couple of other conditions as well, when it occurs. I have a bump on the back of me head on back on the right. Im not sure if it may be related. I wanted to know some good self remedies that I can use.

I been having this problem of creepy crawling on my body at night ..i even run my hands on my sheets n feel sumthing there .. but wen I go to lift the sheets there nothing ..this is driving me crazy.i was even hospitalized cause my family thought I was nuts .. i even had an exterminator come and check out my house to make sure there was no bed bugs so that's out of the question plus I have no bite marks.. then I was told maybe it was dust mites but I've changed the sheets n wash down the bed. N vacuum the whole house ..

I have been having the same issue for some time now- I spoke to a friend who is a priest and he gave me a solution that was the only thing that helped. Firstly get 100% pure olive oil and pour it directly on the scalp when you feel it. Secondly, find a church that believes in deliverance and ask them to pray with you. I was skeptical at first but after he explained that it wasn't a sickness but rather more like voodoo to cause insanity, it made sense! You may not believe me, but if you're desperate for relief, what have you got to lose? Hope this helps!
