No vet? Sorry. I guess I'm spoiled, living in Amish country, livestock vets are everywhere! One Amish friend, after getting over his surprise at all the fuss over one c hicken, ask if you had tried "collaring" him. Like a dog with new trimmed ears. Use a milk carton, half gallon size. Stick his head in the spout opening, cut the rest of the carton off past his head. He'll hate it, but he won't be able to scratch. Use oatmeal paste on the bump, heck, the whole bird. then rinse. Have you tried anti-itch cream from Walgreens? I use it on my boxer who is allergic to mosquito bites.
