Itchy Rashes On The Legs And Arms After Taking Birth Control Pills For Heavy Periods. What To Do?
I am 49 years old and my GYN put me on the birth control pill Lessina 2 1/2 weeks ago because of extremely heavy periods. After being on the pill a little over a week I have developed an itchy rash on my legs and arms. I called my doctor to ask if it could be the birth control pill because I am not on any other medication . His nurse told me no. The odd thing is the rash only itches at night (usually after my shower). Do you think it is related to the pill?

may be yes due to progesteron content some patients do get rashes and itchy too once you stop the medication you get over it
