No! Don't try to cut anything out! As said above, any foreign body like a remnant of tick would have become infected and worked its way to the surface long ago. If you dig around in there you will not find anything and will just do damage to yourself, risking infection and additional problems. You need to go back to the doctor and explain how irritating and constant this itching is. It could be related to the scar, or you might have an infected hair follicle or something in that area. Often a steroid cream will settle down irritated skin, if that is what you have been given. You should give the cream a try but if it isn't working after a week or so (or whatever time period you were told to use it for) then make another appointment to see your doctor.
