Does mirena (levonorgestrel) contain any qty of nickel? i am allergic to nickel and have had unexplained itchy arms/scalp.

No...: According to the information provided by the manufacturer, the device is not made with any metals or alloys. The itchiness you are experiencing is most likely from another cause. To confirm, you can call the manufacturer and they will give you direct information.
