What Causes Recurrent Itchy Lump Above The Implant?
I have an implanon that has now been in for almost two years, in the last four months I have been experience a recurrent itchy lump directly above my implanon at the opposite end of the insertion site. The lump is fairly flat, paler than my usual skin colour, very firm and very itchy.

Hi.
Thank for your query.
Read and understood your history of an itching at the implanon. Since this is a foreign body, some reaction is due to occur.
There there no granuloma formation or any collection a small course of an antihistamine and antibiotic will solve the problem.
This there is no response , it is possible that you have to get implanin removed.
