Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy scar on arms which seems to be due to allergic reaction of body and viral infection due to poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain cleanliness of area and keep it dry. You should apply aloe vera gel on it. Avoid touching or pricking it. You should apply cream containing azelaic acid on it. Wear loose clothes. Take oral antibiotic course as well. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
