Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Do not try to scratch it because in that case it will leave scar. I would suggest you following things:
> Apply polyfax plus ointment over it thrice a day.
> Do not touch it with dirty hands.
> Wash hands before and after applying medicine.
> take cetirizine one at night for itch

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
