From the above mentioned symptoms it appears to be a case of delusional parasitosis. Has an appropriate dose of antipsychotic medication been given for a sufficient duration of time? Have other differentials been ruled out? I would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist, as delusional disorder responds quite well to psychotropic medications.
