Implanon And Dermatitis?

I'm a 27 year old female and have had the implanon for a little over two years now but only in the last couple of months I have developed a rash under my breast and arm pits. The doctor reckons its Contact Dematitis but I'm starting to think it's a side effect from the implanon, he's given me a steroid cream to use but it doesn't seem to work. I also have been suffering from severe cramping. (I used to have it so bad in high school that I'd want to vomit.) my periods are irregular and very heavy. I'm wanting to know if anybody else has had any of the symptoms? I'm thinking of removing the device next week because I can't take much more.

Everything you've listed are reported by the FDA as possible side effects, except the rash. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and breast enlargement.

As to the rash, if it is contact dermatitis, the steroid cream generally won't do much, until you are no longer exposed to the allergen that's causing it. A rash from the Implanon, if it did cause one, would be systemic or vaginal, not isolated to just those areas.

Have you been using any new products, like a new deodorant, soap, perfume, or laundry detergent? Do you wear underwire bras?
