Can The Implantable Rod Birth Control Cause Swelling And Itchy Rash On Arm?
Can the implantable rod birth control cause small rash that swell on the same arm as the implant? My daughter got the implant and has two small rashes one on her same implant arm and one on the back of her thigh. She says both of them itch and feel swollen like fluid almost.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, because of the local irritation and hypersensitive reaction this is likely to happen and it can be managed with antihistamine like "Tab Cetirizine" three times in day, but better to avoid using such device hope this information helps.
