Asked by Female, 28 · 2 months ago
Severe itching and rashes while using Susten progesterone gel or tablets may be due to an allergic reaction or sensitivity. Do not stop the medicine on your own, especially after IVF. Contact your fertility doctor; they may change the form of progesterone, adjust the dose, or prescribe treatment for the allergy.
