Scar tissue: Over a joint or area of thich skin, you can develop thickened itchy s ar tissue. Bio oil or Mederma may decrease the thickness and relieve the itching. If not see doctor for dilute kenalog (triamcinolone). Injection to soften scar.

Itchy skin : If you are having itchy skin at the biopsy site it could be part of the healing process and subsequent scar formation (depending on when the removal occurred . Since the condition is not improving see your dermatologist to make sure the area is ok and not more serious.
