It's called formication. It's a neurological condition that makes people think bugs are crawling around under their skin. But they aren't, it's a neurological condition. Like untreated diabetes or kidney disease can cause itchy prickliness, I think there will be a physiological diagnosis for what causes the sensation of bugs crawling under the skin. I don't think it will be actual teeny little bugs that can't be seen in testing.
But the sensation is still very real, and not imagined. Like people in the hospital given Morphine, who feel their faces itch terribly. It's physiological, but there's nothing wrong with the skin on their face.
Best wishes. The suggestions in this link are good. Lyme disease? Diabetes? etc.
I hope you are able to get answers. That sounds miserable.

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to parasthesia skin. Parasthesias are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism. They can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.
Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the tingling is gone or not.
In case the symptoms persist then consult a neurologist as it can be due to some neurological disorder.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
