Dear Kissingbirds, Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
Problem you describe is common thing which we call a 'neurodermatitis', repeated many times it may result in an LSC.
Basic principle for you now is to ignore the itching & apply plain coconut oil & take an antihistamine like ceterizine 10 mg daily for few days. If problems persists, consult a dermatologist.
