Ticklish feeling in head

I've been getting a ticklish feeling in my head, around the front and sides. It isn't a pain at all, but it's a little annoying. I don't know how to explain it other than calling it, the creepy crawlies, or ticking inside my head. I have an anxiety disorder, and stress super easily. Could this be related to stress? I've also been on the computer a little more lately, could that cause this feeling?

My 7 year-old gets this feeling especially at night and it so uncomfortable to her. Did any of you find out what causes this. I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you

Thanks for the response, if it makes you feel better further, I was on a few other sites where people who had a lot of stress and anxiety and they said they've felt the same thing. I just want to be sure there it couldn't be something else. I also forgot to mention I had this feeling in January and got an EEG for it, and it came back normal. I had epilepsy as a teenager, so I wasn't just being paranoid, anything head related I do need to get checked out.

I think I know what you're talking about. A while ago when I would try to sleep I would get a funny feeling in the front of my head like it was being tickled inside. It scared me half to death and knowing that someone else who suffers from anxiety has had the same problem is a big relief (not that I am in any way happy that you have this problem). But yes, I have anxiety issues and I have had something very similar to this, but it was mostly only when I'd try to sleep.

I get the exact same thing sometimes when I'm going to sleep. Only difference is that it's followed by this warm buzzing euphoria passing over my body, and I feel as if I am going to die or pass out so I shake myself out of it. Next time I'm gonna see what happens if I let it overtake me though, I'm quite curious! It feels so blissful.

I have just started getting a tingling feeling in my head. It feels like my brain is ticklish even if I’m just sitting there. Wherever I go, it’s still there. I think this is related to anxiety. I have had anxiety for a few months now. It keeps getting worse and worse. I used to panic whenever this happened but I notice that when I tell myself it will eventually go away on its own, it helps. It will also help when you are distracted
