What Causes Arm Tingling While Using Nexplanon?

Hi, I ve been using the contraceptive Nexplanon for about a year and a half (and had been using implanon before this). I woke up this morning with my arm tingling and itchy and there is a small lump at the end of where the implant is. I was just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about, as it s never happened before.
