HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Itching the area would aggravate the problem because it can result in the introduction of bacteria into the skin.
Based on your symptoms, it is possible that there is a follicular infection (infection of the follicles ).
You may want to consider : (1) cleaning the area at least twice daily with a topical antiseptic
(2)applying a topical antibiotic
(3)also applying a topical steroid cream to the area to reduce itching
(4)using an oral antihistamine would also further reduce itching as well
I hope this helps
