I have this on my left lower leg in two places. I don't get it
very often, but sometimes it feels like an ant on me.

There are drugs that can make this sensation worse.

It is called formication.

I think it is common with PN .

In severe forms it can be
very distressing...and it is usually then attributed to drugs.

This is a list of drugs that have had this side effect attributed:
