Used Copper IUD, Red Raised Itchy Rashes On Chest, Behind Ear, Groin, Burning Sensation
I had a copper IUD put in on Thursday. Friday developed a rash behind my ear. That night had rash on chest. Over weekend has spread to forehead nose ear belly button and groin. Is red raised thin fluid filled. If open is a yellow crust. Spot on groin is a quarter size welt. All very very itchy. And a burning sensation. Was given a depomerol shot and diflucan for possible yeast between chest. I do have a nikel sensitive to earrings. Could this be related to the IUD?

Hello ma'am.
What you could be experiencing is a reaction to the IUCD, but this can be ascertained only after knowing what type of IUD was inserted and whoch metals it contains.
I would urge you to visit your doctor regarding the same and get the IUD removed if this is indeed due to the IUD.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
