I've noticed this bump on my skin after scratching it, and it's really irritating. I keep feeling the urge to scratch it more. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that'll go away on its own? Would love to know what might be causing it.
It's possible that the bump and irritation could be due to various reasons such as:
- Insect bite or sting
- Allergic reaction
- Skin infection
- Eczema or dermatitis
- Keratosis pilaris
To alleviate the discomfort, you can try:
- Applying a cold compress to reduce itching
- Using over-the-counter antihistamine cream or hydrocortisone cream
- Taking an oral antihistamine
- Avoiding scratching the area
