It is very much possible that the itching and irritation is caused by allergy to Nuvaring.
It is a very commonly reported side effect of using Nuvaring.
Other less common side effects experienced by male partners are-
Penile dryness and scaling
Bleeding and scarring of penis
Dermatitis of penis and scrotum
Try avoiding sexual intercourse for a few days. If the itching and irritation improves then it is a sure sign of allergy.
Talk to your doctor about the possible ways to deal with the allergy.
Hope this answers your question, thank you.
