Can Diovan Cause Itchiness?

Can diovan cause itching. I am on it and have been for over a year. My eyes turned red 6 months ago. They got sore for a while. The eye dr could not figure out why my eyes were red. He gave me steroids and my ey cleared up. I now have terrible intermittent itching in my crotch area and inner thighs as well as chest/stomach. I cannot sleep many nights. Up all night scratching. Is this likely a diovan side affect?
