General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The rash what you are noticing to be present around the contraceptive implant appears to be allergic reaction of the skin.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the lesion after drying.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day.
Avoid scratching over the affected area as it could exaggerate the condition.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and you should feel better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
