The most important thing is to stop scratching, you could try warm compress on it and also apply topical steroid like OTC hydrocortizone to relieve some of the itching. I hope what you call pustules are not boils, then just use warm compress and just steroid on the surrounding that may be itchy. Scratching makes the itching worse.
