As you must already be aware erysipelas is a bacterial infection of the skin. If you have been treated with antibiotics and recovering is just some more time that you will recover completely and without residual effects, healing wounds and infections some times do itch, to relieve it you may use cold compresses, It is not advisable to hide is with any kind of makeup for the wedding because the skin is still raw and the contents of the make up may get absorbed or irritate the skin further
