I would recommend applying Aquaphor
healing ointment to be applied several times per day in order to aid the
healing of the skin from the abrasion caused by the scratches. Healing can vary
upon multiple factors such as the mechanism of injury to the depth of the
damage done to the skin. I would also recommend making an appointment for
further evaluation.
