Sensitive skin

Question:

I have a sensation of buzzing in the pubic area. It’s like a cell phone set to vibrate. It occurs every two or three seconds, and has been going on like this for over 24 hours. Have you ever heard of this?

Answer: 

It sounds like it could be formication, which is a bothersome skin sensation. It’s tough to know for sure, though. If it is formication, hormone therapy or antihistamines may help. Report it to your doctor and see what s/he says.
