This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It seems like you have a bacterial infection which has resulted from the skin above the scratches healing and locking up the bacteria deep down. This has nothing to do with the Tea Tree cream.
Do not use any Hydrocortizone as this can only make your problem worse.
I am not sure if any Homeopathic remedy can help you but in your shoes, I would advise you to use an antibiotic internally which you will have to consult a doctor about.

Hi,
I am not a doctor, but wanted to share an experience with tea tree oil.
A few years ago I put some tea tree oil (TTO) on a rash on my thigh. I had used TTO for years for many things. But when I put it on the rash, I developed an allergic reaction. My whole leg swole up, became red, hot and very itchy/painful. After a week it slowly got better. A few months later I was using TTO to rid my children of a case of head lice (it works beautifully!). By getting the TTO on my hands, I broke out into a major systemic allergic reaction. It seems now that I am allergic to TTO and cannot even touch the bottle. I think it is because when I put it on the rash, there was broken skin. Before using it on the rash, I had never used TTO on broken skin.
So, I don't use TTO any more, with regret.
Good luck!
