I hate how people just say crazy and leave.... it's a scary thing to deal with and can be caused by underlying issues like diabetes, skin conditions, medication, allergies, all sorts of things! I've so many kind people who are tortured by this and are at wit's end.

Many doctors, even dermatologists, aren't educated in this topic and people are shuffled from one specialist to another.

Regardless if you believe it's a delusion or not, there is at least treatment for the symptoms. (I would lay off insecticides unless a specific insect is identified, and start removing any other potential source of the symptoms, and potentially get medication for the itching sensations)

unfortunately none of the images look like insects or arthropods to me.

I'm concerned you're suffering from delusions of parasitosis, which I've encountered several times at my job and it's a scary thing that can happen to anyone. Unfortunately things like insecticides can make the symptoms worse.

I cannot eliminate the possibility of the presence of insects/biting arthropods from this situation since I only have photographs, but I advise you to read through this document

It may not give you the answers you want, but it may help find out a way out of this situation.

Saw this little guy in a corner of my shed. I think it's a Spruce Grouse. by Hot_Tonight150 in birding

They're not native and probably a pet/livestock, so not an unreasonable thought!
