Crawling feeling on my scalp. Not nits.

So since yesterday I have the sensation that there is a bug or bugs crawling on my head. I have nit combed and used full marks solution this morning. I don't think there is actually anything there.

What is this??

I am under immense stress at the moment. Could it be psychological?

I'm sure it could be stress-related - maybe you are tensing muscles in your neck/shoulders/scalp?

Or, I sometimes get a feeling there is a tickly hair/fly on my nose and I can't brush it off, but nothing is there - and this is a histamine reaction a bit like hayfever (not sure what causes it but i can fix it with an antihistamine).

Yes, it could. Feeling like your skin (scalp or otherwise) is crawling can definitely be stress related.

Sorry you're under so much stress, hope you have support and/or the situation/s resolve soon!
