Vitamin D: Possible. Vitamin D has many physiological effects on the body. Immune function is one. Possible that when starting vitamin D your immune system is turning on. This may be increasing histamine and itching (possible mechanism). Continue the D. You might considr increasing the D too. Good source of information is the Vitamin D Council- https://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
