What Causes Rashes And Itching Sensation In Body After Withdrawal Of Birth Control Pill?

I have just stopped taking my birth control after 3 years. I am experiencing extreme rashes and itching every day around the time after I was supposed to consume a pill. This goes away after 3-5 hours after spreading to every part of my body that I itch. Extremely concerning, any advice would help.

Hi there... some women do experience itching all over post stoppage of contraceptive pills. Calamine lotion over the itchy parts and cetrizine for a week can help overcome this. You will soon get over this phase.
