A person may scratch a bump due to itching or irritation caused by conditions such as Allergies, insect bites, or skin infections. Scratching can lead to inflammation, breaking the skin barrier and increasing the risk of infection, which exacerbates the problem. The cycle of itching and scratching can create sores, as the skin becomes damaged and fails to heal properly. Psychological factors, such as stress or anxiety, can also contribute to compulsive scratching behavior.
