What Are The Rashes After Putting Implanon In The Arm?
my 16 year old had implanon put in her arm 2 weeks ago and has had rashes for the last 5 days. I took her to the doctor and she said it was a viral rash. Do you think it's an allergic reaction to the implanon? It's tiny little red dots all over her body and they aren't itchy and not chicken pox. Thanks

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of the child seem to be related to a viral rash,so I agree with your doctor.
I suggest using Calamine lotion for local application.
I also suggest Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
