Crawling Sensation (Formation)

It is a variety of itching eg.Acarophobia.

Sensation of Heat
In dermatological practice, "heat in the blood" or "sense of heat (SOH)" is not uncommon. It is seen as the first sign or symptom of drug eruption, in urticaria and allergy. Lay persons even call venereal diseases "heat-raram"(syphilis in Arabic means heat). Ayurveda, Hippocrates and Galen have laid stress on constitution, temperament and elementary qualities like heat, cold, dryness and moisture.
It is experienced as warm sesantion to feeling of burning hot, warm to hot hands and feet and hands outside the covering while sleeping, SOH is a more useful guide than leukocyte count or allergy tests in urticaria and engogenous eczema. Patients with SOH are more prone to skin diseases. May be change in eating and living habits (sattvic vegetarian diet, no spices, chiilis, tea, alcohol, etc) help to reduce SOH and hence the predisposition to allergic dermatoses.
