What Causes Itching On The Arms After A Dog Scratch?
Hey. I ve began to notice that whenever my dog scratches me when I m playing with her the scratch marks she leaves on my arms or wherever start to get really itchy within minutes of the playful scratch. I ve ignored it up till now but it s getting really annoying!

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to dermatitis.
I suggest using antihistamines daily such as Cetirizine.
I also recommend using steroid lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
