The symptoms you mentioned are not likely to be related to allergies caused by the depo shot (generic name: medroxyprogesterone). Almost any substance including the other substance contained in the Depo Provera might cause an allergy. However, since Depo Provera is administered intramuscular any possible allergy would be spread throughout the whole skin as urticaria rather then affecting only limited areas.


According to the symptoms you provided, the vaginal itching might be caused by a vaginal infection. The vaginal infection might be due to a fungal or bacterial infection. Both are easily examined by taking a vaginal swab for microbiological examination by your gynecologist. Microscopic examination might reveal the fungal spores or the bacteria. It also might detect the most effective antibiotic if bacteria are found as the cause for the infection.
