Do you come out in a rash any where else or even get flu like symptoms or itchiness after playing the guitar ?

I would be very surprised if you were having an allergic reaction to the metals in your guitar strings. However if you really want to know, go see a GP.

Id keep using fast fret and just keep on going. I think this is a problem that will either disappear in time or you will just have to live with !

You can also get Teflon (?) coated guitar string, which may help. They sound a little different from regular strings however they may be worth a try.
