Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Thanks for your query.

If you are sure that its a cat scratch then the pain or some thing feeling associated with it is expected.

This reaction erythema nodosum at the bite site is due to inflammatory reaction going on there.

You may have to take a course of anti-inflammatory medications like Tab Motrin 400mg twice daily after food for three days along with application of the antihistamine cream.

If the lesion does not subside even after three day dose of Tab Motrin, then you must get the lesion examined by your doctor as they could be something other than scratch.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
