itchy in between finger, neck, and face.HELP?

[sarahcrossi]

In between my fingers have been itchy for a few weeks now, and recently i have started to have an itchy face and neck. My partner has eczma, which I don't know if it has anything to do with it.
I have looked on the internet and all I find is 'scabies' but I do not have the lines on my hands or other syptoms, just itchy in between fingers.
I am going to seek help from my GP but I am worried on what is wrong with me.What is wrong with me? Please help?

To my knowledge eczema (sp?) is not contagious.

Have you been abroad anywhere?

Maybe a slight yeasty infection (like athletes foot) or ringworm?

I am sure it is not serious, and I imagine a pharmacist would be a better point of call.

Before you seek help though, try some anti-histamine and/or a mild non-perscription steroid, like cortisol.

If it is scabies it's easily cured. Another clue if it's scabies is small black bits in your bed, worth checking, cos you can buy stuff over the counter tomorrow.

I'm curious Curiosity... what are the 'black bits'?

[curiosity]

Scabies poo believe it or not, which is actually what causes the irritation under the skin as well.

Hmmm, my guess is that you are using some cheap moisturiser. Have you changed your normal one recently?
Or maybe it could be related to one of tohse types of insects that escaped from that goverbment research center. Apparently they escaped in some womans hair. They climb in the fingernail and crawl their way into the warm parts of the fingers, whilst laying eggs on the way. When you have scratched your neck, you may have spread them. When they hatch, they squeel, be careful not to pick your nose and eat it, as apparently if they get into the digestive systemas they make you fart a lot when they hatch and they cause a terrible odour. You might not live anywhere near there though...
