I got my nexplanon implanted in May. A few months ago, I had a small lump right on top of the bar, assuming it was a mosquito bite. Then a month later again I received the same lump also believing it was another mosquito bite. But now, another month later Ive gotten the same bump and am now convinced it isnt a bite. Could I be allergic to the implant?? It does feel somewhat irritating. Thanks, AAAAA.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, It seems that either it is not placed properly in your subcutaneous tissue, or your skin is giving abnormal response to the foreign body by developing fibrosis. Sometimes it can develop in Keloid. It is also possible that you are getting infection, and developing small abscess at site. Do you feel pain or itching at that site? Best is that you take you go to the Doctor, and get checked. You must use some alternative contraceptive also until the time you get confirmation that it is placed properly and working well. Hope I have answered your question. Chat Doctor.
