Intense itching inbetween my fingers

Oh my gosh it’s been driving me mad for about a month now! So intense and it wakes me up at night. There’s no dry skin there or irritation. It’s just red raw from where I’m itching so much.

I haven’t changed soaps or hand cream or anything like that.
i know itching in the palms can be a sign of a liver problem, but any ideas for inbetween the fingers !? It’s on both hands.

Go to your local pharmacy - sounds as though it could be scabies, which is easily fixed.

I was just about to say Scabies too.

Thanks all. I went to the pharmacist and he said it wasn’t scabies. He couldn’t say what it was really but has given me a steroid cream for it. If not better in 1 week to see GP

Try Eurax , not on broken skin. Can buy Amazon and supermarket. Also calamine now comes in a cream. I find both really good

Are you stressed? I get this when under intense stress, as does my dad weirdly.

I also thought pompholyx.

It sounds like scabies and scabies are rife at the moment and it's hard to get hold of the treatment for them.

Hand foot and mouth

Scabies. Why did the pharmacist say they'd ruled it out?

Hi all just to update you - the steroid cream is working a treat!
