Hi, thanks for your question!
It is possible that the scratching has damaged small fragile blood vessels, which could be the cause of the red-purple appearance you mentioned. The best solution is to moisturize the skin with a fragrance-free cream, such as Aveeno. It can be used as often as desired, whenever you feel itchy, not a maximum of a day
I also suggest that after the shower, you do not rub the skin to dry it, but rather lightly tap it to leave some moisture, and apply the moisturizer within 5 minutes of getting out of the shower.
I hope I have helped you, and I am available if you have any other questions!
