Hello,
thank you for writing to HCM
I would advice you to bath with antiseptic soap. clean the scar area and pat dry. apply neosporin cream over scab area. Take T.fexofenadine once daily for 10 days.
If itching persists take the following tests -serum IgE and complete blood count , and consult a dermatologist/your surgeon in person for confirmatory diagnosis and treatment.
