Jeannie, take an antihistamine an hour before your Armour for a week or so. If the rash clears it is likely a reaction to one of the fillers. If not, it's unlikely to be related to Armour.

You could have a reaction to the fillers/binders in the product you are using.

Maybe try taking an anti-histamine tablet before your next dose and see if that helps. If it relieves your itch you will have to switch to another NDT. Sometimes we have to try several before finding one that suits.
