itchier

Needing more scratching

Itchier is the comparative form of itchy, describing a sensation that more strongly provokes the urge to scratch.

A mosquito bite might become itchier as it swells.

Figuratively, someone itchier to leave is more restless or impatient: The longer we waited, the itchier I got to just walk out.
