Coçar vs arranhar

Olá!
Is there any difference between verbs coçar and arranhar? Both means to scratch but is there any particular way of using them, or are they synonyms?

Obrigada

Olá, @malgorzata! They’re used differently. Coçar refers to gentle scratching of an itch, arranhar refers to scratching to the point of injury.
