Could Hair Loss And Skin Rashes Be Side Effects Of Birth Control?
My Name is Jayme, I am 20 years old. I have been on the NuvaRing for about a year now, I have noticed loss of hair and bad blotchy rashes all over the inner parts of my arms. They itch so bad they bleed, and scar. Could this be a side effect from my birthcontrol ?
Hi, The symptoms you have mentioned do not appear as side effects or adverse reactions of the ring. If at all, you can suspect some allergic reaction but in view of the use being for the past year, this is no time for allergies to manifest. The symptoms may be unrelated, but, a clarification should be had from your consultant after a clinical evaluation. You should also see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and further management of your condition. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
