"i love my nexplanon. i have had it for a little over a year. i have little to no spotting, maybe twice in the past year but its short and light. my only problem has been acne. i have had acne since i was 13 and have struggled to keep it under control. two weeks after i first got the implant my chest broke out really bad, worse than it ever had before. i just started putting my prescription on it and it got better. about 7 months went by and i started breaking out really bad around my mouth, chin, and jawline. it hasn&#039;t lightened up and my prescription that worked wonderfully for years does nothing: which tells me it is very hormonal- the implant. i&#039;m considering having it removed, but really don&#039;t want to just for acne because it works great."
