The ongoing sensation or appearance of ants crawling on or under the skin.
Present participle of 'formicate,' formed by adding '-ing' to the verb. This describes the active, ongoing nature of the ant-crawling sensation or its resemblance to ant movement.
The '-ing' form captures the continuous, maddening nature of the sensation—it's not a one-time feeling but a persistent crawling that won't stop, which is why the active participle is so commonly used in medical descriptions.
