Itching: Although no rash and irritant could be possible. For example contact with fiberglass can cause that. Is the itchiness in the webspace? Good place for scabies.

I have a rash between my first finger and my thumb that appeared one morning. The rash looks like small red pimples. Even though it does itch, I can stand not to itch it. Hydrocortisone does reduce redness, swelling, itching. Rash is nowhere else. ?
