The scratches are probably healing up and you know when you have a cut or scratch when they start to heal they get more itchy.

I wouldn't worry about cutting the wiskers I would just make sure that the area stays clean and that it doesn't get infected.

You could try putting on some antibiotic cream or some Neosporin.

My guess by the end of the week it will be all better and maybe even gone by then

Just glad I can help
