Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having allergic rashes and following severe itching there might be having secondary infection.
Apply triple acting cream locally.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Take one course of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
