Itch/scratch syndrome. Sometimes these start as a bug bite or other event. When you scratch, you trigger local response that releases chemicals under the skin. This triggers a cycle of itching-leading to scratching to later itch & scratch. Sometimes a cool compress can slow/stop the itch feeling and help. Covering the area so you cannot trigger the chemical release also helps.
