Red Rashes Around Naval, Thigh After Implanting Contraceptive. Continued After Removing. Possible Reason?
Hi! I ve had a red rash around my naval and the tops of my thighs for about a year. It began as soon as I had a contraceptive implant put in and I assumed it was due to that and hormones. I have since had the implant removed but the marks are still there. I ve been doing some internet research and am convinced the marks are through heat exposure as I feel the cold very much and am always clutching a hot water bottle. What do you think? Emma

Hi Emma, Thanks for using HCM.
The red rash for a year may be due to infection (fungal) or hormonal or due to chronic irritation. Is there any other symptom with the rash? How is it look like, any pain, swelling, irritation, itching, temperature change, elevated border, any palpable lymph nodes. Kindly explain about it and if you can put the photograph of it, it will be easy for us to diagnose and manage you. revert back with the above mentioned.
Feel free to ask me if you have any queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
