It is very difficult to diagnose any insect that is not large enough to see with the naked eye. What I would suggest is to use some clear tape, and "tap" the area on on your skin with the tape where you think the insect is located. Then use a magnifying glass to find out if it is indeed an insect or something else.
Most skin irritants are the result of either an allergen, which could be plant pollen, and environmental issue such as the off gassing of furniture or building contents. Anything that contains plastics, petroleum solvents, formaldehyde, etc is suspect. Also pharmaceutical drugs are suspect.
Don't assume that just because you itch or feel like something is crawling on your skin it is an insect. Chances are greater than 90% that it is not. Here is an article on Bug You Can't See That Bite. https://www.epestcontrol.com/articles...
