Arm, scratched, two days ago, still really hurts?!


Question: Arm, scratched, two days ago, still really hurts!?
Not that deep but over my arm!.
Its been 2 days now, and scabs are starting to form but its burning and tingling still!. It hurts to wear long sleeves, or even put it inside the duvet in bed!.
It woke me up last night hurting, its sort of a burning, if I put cream on it, or hold it against something cold, it feels better for maybe 20 seconds, then it slowly comes back again!.
Also when I move my arm it feels tight and painful, sort of like my skin might split!. So Im trying not to move my arm too much!. Iv used antiseptic alot to stop infection!.!.
What can I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
