eczema/blisters/inflammation/itchy
He used to rub/itch his thigh by inserting his hand in his pant pocket, so I guess he must be suffering from some kind of eczema.
Yesterday I fell supine and I struck my head strongly to the ground, so my head swollen. I think I need some medicine to reduce this inflammation/swelling.
This morning hot water fell out from bucket to my legs, so the area is full of blisters.
I got a itchy rash on my foot.
Please correct my sentences.

The itch is the annoying sensation you feel in your skin, not what you do to it. You scratch or rub an itch. He used to rub his thigh by inserting his hand in his pants pocket, so I guess he must be suffering from some kind of eczema.

Thank you Nona-the-Brit
This morning hot water spilled from a/the bucket on to my legs, so the area is covered with blisters."I think 'full of blisters' is also correct, though it is not natural". Am I right?

As blisters are on the surface of the skin, not inside it, 'full of' isn't really quite right.
Although perhaps you could think of the area as being 'full of' if you imagine a border round it, rather than the skin....but I just don't think it works as well. We just don't think of places as 'full of' blisters unless it is an internal area. A mouth could be full of blisters. But skin blist
