Brief Answer:
antiseptic lotion. antihistamine & anti inflammato

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I went through the query and understood your concern.

The redness is due to inflammatory response. The itching around the lesion while healing is one of the good sign of recovery.

For now application of antiseptic lotion like povidine iodine lotion(betadine) with oral anti inflammatory drug like aceclofenac or Ibuprofen (for inflammation) and antihistamine like cetrizine or loratidine (for itching) will help in reducing the symptoms and faster healing. Keep the area clean and dry. These measures will help you.

I hope this information helps you and answered your questions.
Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.

Wish you good health.
Regards
