itching and skin rashes are reported side effect if the content of pill is levonorgestrel.
do not worry about it as it will subsides after few hours to days
in my opinion there is no concern to worry.
it is due to hypersensitivity reaction noted in some persons
if do not subsides than next step is tab chlopheniramine maleate should be taken till the symptoma persists.
if suffering from severe itching despite taking of these drug, u can consult dermatologist and hypersensitivity testing shoul be done
