I don't know why yours is itchy but I did have the same thing about a month ago. I have not had radiation but the itch was powerful and consistent, drove me crazy for about two days but then after it, I got a little feeling returned to the area which had had no feeling since DMX. That said it is also the side of my lymphedema.
Hopefully yours will pass too but if your worried about reoccurrence you might want to make an appointment with your BS if for no other reason that to allay your fears x
