Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Dianette is an oral contraceptive pill.
As the side effect of dianette is mood swings , depression , anxiety , hairs loss or hirsutism, itching.
All these symptoms ,which you mentioned in your query may be a side effect of Dianette but reason may else .
As you mentioned in your query that you are taking these pills from last 4 years so may be another reason .
1 Scabies , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination and scratch test.
2 Eiosinophilia , diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for eiosinophils count.
3 Dermatitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination .
In my opinion consult your gynecologist / dermatologist and get their opinion.
Good luck.
