Ow! That even sounds uncomfortable!
Since you've scratched it, you've probably opened yourself up for infection. Apply alcohol: That will lessen the chance of infection, and sooth the itch. After that, get some kind of OTC hydro-cortisone cream and use that. Or if that's out of the question, liberally apply vinegar: I've used that on sunburns and assorted stings, and it helps.
If the swelling worsens, see a doctor.
Good luck.
