    I agree with Maura. Take it out of the pot to check what's there and treat the whole plant specially in those folds. Before going into real toxic things you may try isopropil alcohol (diluted 1/10) or neem oil, do not put the plant in direct sunlight! What intrigues me is that you say "jumped away from my fingers" .
