What Causes Itching In Implenon In Arm?

Hi I have the implenon in my arm it s the third one I have had over 7 years and this particular one will have been in for a year in July! Ever since this one was put in last July it is really really itchy, it now feels like it has snapped in my arm (not sure if I have done this by scratching in my sleep) what should I do?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history, you are having allergic dermatitis. My treatment advice is :

1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days.

If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
