Hi,
It could be a reaction to the coil. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take anti-histaminic like tablet cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
