What To Do If Arm Is Heavy, Itchy, Bumpy, Bruised In The Area Where Implanon Was Inserted?
I've had the implanon since September. My arm freqently feels heavy and very itchy. A few days ago the area where the rod is located was all bumpy, looked a lot like a nettle sting but it wasn't. And not it area where it was inserted is bruised, the other end is a lump and along the rod, the skin in raised. What shall I do?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Two strong possibilities are there, first is infection part and second is allergic conditions these can be managed on conservative basis and for that I would suggest the following medicine,
1) Tab Cefdinir 30 mg twice a day for 7 days
2) Tab Ibuprofen 200 mg three times in day
3) tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day
I hope you would get good response from this, take care and have nice day.
