What Causes Itchy Lumps Over A Contraceptive Implant?
Hi, I ve had a contraceptive implant in my arm for just over a year now and it has never caused any problems, however twice in the last week 1-2 small very itchy lumps have inexplicably appeared over it and then disappeared after about a few hours- since the first time this happened, it also feels like my implant has dislodged or changed shape a bit as it feels very different now when I run my finger over it than it did before. The 1st time it happened about a day after I sustained some scratches that got ink in them about 10cm away from the implant site (those scratches are fine and not infected now I think), the 2nd time it was right after I had worked out (for the first time in a while). Otherwise I can t think of any reasons. Should I be worried? Am I still protected?
