Feeling of insects crawling on vulva

Sometimes we just feel strange, and some symptoms appear in the body. For example, sometimes we don’t have any other strange sensations in our body, no pain, no itching, but suddenly we feel like there are bugs crawling on our body, but actually when we touch it, there are no bugs. In such a situation, we should look at it from two perspectives. First, don’t be too nervous. Second, we should believe in science, believe in medicine, and get checked in time. So, what kind of situation would it be if we feel there are bugs crawling on our vulva?
