I had something similar so they changed me from PIO to Endometrin. My dr preferred Endometrin anyway, but hadn't recommended it because it's so expensive comparatively.
I had itching and welts that never went down, like supersized hives. They were never painful (but I didn't think the shots were painful either) but just got worse over time. It wasn't the PIO pooling under the skin- the nurse and dr both thought I was allergic to the sesame oil the progesterone is in, so that's why we made the switch.
You might be allergic to the oil that they use. I would bring it up to your nurse.
