My elbow scab is SO ITCHY!! ARGH!! It has been itchy for days but I've done really well to not scratch at it but it's driving me mental!

Not that it helps 5 hours later but slap the skin around it lightly instead of scratching. That’s the go to for tattoos

Edit: Do it really light around the itchy spot, little taps! Just enough to ease an irresistible urge to scratch or rub. Don't do it a lot or to the extent you irritate or pull on it, and don't slap on a healing wound itself
