Yes, contrast can cause allergy reaction and one of the symptom is itching. Itching is mild reaction, but sometimes in severe reactions, it can cause death. Please notify your doctor or any medial staff if you are going to get contrast dye again. There are medications that can prevent the allergy reaction from contrast materials.
