  1. Hi and welcome to question doctors .com
    If these symptoms are new as you said and just after the scratch then you gotta go to ER as this may be infected wound by any type of bacteria not necessarily tetanus …but it needs check and antibiotic prescription..

  2. From the picture it looks like contact dermatitis
    mix two tablespoons of baking soda in cool water. Soak a washcloth in the cool water, wring it out, and apply it to the skin, also use antihystaminic drug
    And hydrocortisone cream
