[|Human|] I had the mirena put in nearly 6 weeks ago, I ve had loads of side effects but a week ago i started itching on my body. It s mostly the top of my back, shoulders, stomach, breasts and top of the legs. My scalp has also been itchy too. I haven t changed my washing powder and i have used hedrin as i thought i might have lice but it s still itching on my body. I m getting concerned now and it s very irritating
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  When the itching starts after 5 weeks of Mineral insertion... it is less likely to be due to the hormone Levonorgestrel allergy.  Such itching on the covered parts of body could be due to contact dermatitis/allergy to sweat, cosmetics / fungal infection./ Chat Doctor.  - Steroid skin ointments relieve allergy/ contact dermatitis. But fungal infections are not only unaffected but are increased with such ointment. You need to apply antifungal ointment for skin over the counter to get relief from the itching.  Consult a physician if you have kidney of liver complaints OR if there is no effect of local ointments.  Thanks
