Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor.broken skin is a predisposing factor for infection. As you are having only itching goes in favor of some allergic etiology or could be due to some fungal infection.antibiotic will not be helpful. I need some more information about your complaint to suggest you correct medication : is there any pigmentation, is itching generalized to whole body or only limited to lesion area only, is there any red patches develop on itching are, how itching are looks like.after getting complete information I would suggest you correct medicine. Presently you can use moisturizer to keep skin moist and calamine lotion to receive itching and Cetirizine 10 mg tablet once in a day for sever itching under guidance of clinician .hope you would be satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.
