What Is The Cure For The Bumps Around The Cuts Which Are Itchy?

I am a 41 year old female with a history of depression and migraines and a ton of other health issues. Anyway, I did a really stupid thing, not the first time but certainly the last, and cut my arms with a razor blade last Wednesday. I finally went to urgent care yesterday, knowing the cuts are infected. I am on a antibiotic. I am miserable! The cuts are long, nasty looking, they are itching me too death, and besides being terribly humiliated and feeling incredibly stupid, I am wondering how long this will take to feel some better? The bumbs around the cuts are much worse, a ton more of them, and itch like crazy. No I am not suicidal nor was I at the time, just in a ton of emotional pain. Seeking help already.

Hi,

It will take around 2 weeks to heal. You need to continue with the antibiotics. For itching, take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg twice daily for few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
