Hello,
Mirena does cause itching symptoms in some women. After removal of the Mirena coil you may experience Mirena withdrawal symptoms like mood swings, dry skin, itching all over the body, skin breaking, dry scalp, allergy, urticaria, spotting, bleeding or amenorrhea. Such symptoms in some women go away sooner but is some may continue for weeks (3-4 weeks).
You are suggested to keep yourself well hydrated, avoid any type of anxiety and stress. Cut on addictions if any. Take anti-histamines, Levocetrizine, one SOS when itching. You can apply Caladryl lotion, cream or ointment containing 1% hydrocortisone is effective. Do not touch or scratch. Take care of your hygiene. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
