Feeling something moving in my entire body like an ant . Irritation and sometimes there is a pimple on my body like bit by an ant. Please confirm what can be the issue is it some worm or some kind of infection.

Could be due to a condition called Formication, where a person feels like insects are crawling on or under their skin. This sensation can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, drug use, or certain medical conditions. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) to help with the itching and irritation.
