What Causes Redness And Itching Around The Nexplanon Insertion?
Hi. I had my nexplanon insertion about 2 weeks ago. Is the redness and itchiness of the area part of the healing process, or should it be something i should worry about? And its a little bumpy too, where it was injected (like a mosquito bite) and the rest is itchy and red.
The healing process does include mild amount of itching and redness which should subside in a while, so don't worry about it. The bumpiness will also subside in a while, so in my opinion all okay.
Best wishes.
