Can Implanon Cause Oral Lesions? Outbreaks In The In The Mouth. Allergic Reaction?

Can implanon cause oral lesions? I started to have out breaks in my mouth a couple months after I received the implanon. I have gone to the doctor and the dentist . Both were very unclear abou what it could be. The doctor ran some tests and they came back negative and the dentist said he has never seen anything like this before and took pictures but still has yet to get back to me. He seems to think its some sort pf allergic reaction . The implanon is the only thing I can think of that would cause this. I haven t changed my diet or anything like that.

HI and welcome ,
IMPLANON is the implant for birth control . So you need to consult a concerned doctor like a gynaec and OBS or a birth control consultant who can guide you in a proper way.

As far as oral lesions are concerned , its outbreak can be allergic , or stress related or may be due to deficiency or vitamins , immunocompromised conditions , medications or oral infections bacterial or viral
.
This can be confirmed only on clinical examination so please visit a dentist and get it evaluated.

Meantime you can use antiseptic mouth wash like chlorhexidine for mouth rinsing , maintain good oral hygiene , apply DENTOGEL an antiseptic anlagesic oral ointement topically pver the lesion will give relief.

i hope this helps ,
take care.

dear friend.

thanks for sharing your concern.

IMPLANON is used as birth control measures. if you feel it could be due to this then you must visit your gynecologisit in this regard for detail information.

remember it could be some allergic reaction too,which will regress after discontinuation of that particular agent.
it could be stress induced or some vitamin deficiency too.

get yourself clinically evaluated thoroughly meanwhile take multivitamin supplements.

observe the changes in the lesion,and report to your dentist if any.

during this period maintain good oral hygeine.

use antiseptic mouthwashes too.

for local application can use dentogel.

hope this helps.

thanks
