Hello,

The Cerazette consists of Desogestrel as content and used for prevention of pregnancy off the counter level. There are ample number of side effects of Cerazette, common one is being spotting and irregular heavy bleeding in some of the cases. However, an itching sensation sounds to be concern for possible fungal infection most likely involving vagina or cervix. Kindly take a vaginal or cervical swab and get checked into microbiology lab for best possible guidelines of cure.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
