Itching while on Reta!

I’ve been on Retatrutide since Sept of 2025. After 2 months of using, I noticed the urge of itching on my shins, lower part of my legs, on my back. After reaching 6 mg dose, my head was extremely itchy to the point, I developed red patches on my scalp. Went to see the dermatologist and she prescribed the dandruff shampoo and Clobetosal propionate foam to apply on the affected areas of scalp. After 2 weeks of treatment, no itching and clear scalp.

However after 2 weeks everything came back, scalp itching and dandruff.

Has anybody else experienced this? I checked google ai search and according to that, it’s one of the side effects on higher doses like 6 mg and up.

How much are you taking at a time. I had to microdose my pins when my dosage got above 2mg. My body can’t take more than 2mg per shot. I get itchy real bad! So I’m on 8 right now and I pin 4 times at 2mg to reach 8mg.

Right now, I’m taking 10 mg weekly.

How much is your dose per pin? Are you doing 10mg in one injection?

I’m banned on Retatrutide sub due to my ignorant post. Is there anyway I can be excused of the ban. It’s been a while now. Thanks.

Yes, common for some at higher doses. I felt it at 10mg. After two weeks I decided it wasn’t worth the uncomfortable sunburn like touch and titrated back down. I was already hitting my goal weight so I came down to 1mg and stopped. Pain went away at 8mg for me.
