HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you are having an allergic reaction to some component of the contraceptive.
This would cause the itching and rash that you are experiencing.
Using an oral antihistamines would help to decrease the reaction but you should visit your doctor for assessment to see if the contraceptive can remain.
I hope this helps
