birth control
"I had Mirena fitted 4 weeks ago and immediately I started with rashes and itching, first on my neck, then face, then arms. I've been prescribed steroid creams and 3 x antihistamines a day (normal dose 1 a day). It has now settled down on my face but still lingering a bit on my neck and arms. I also think I've gained a few pounds, I normally don't fluctuate at all. My GP has agreed to remove it this week if I choose. Just not sure whether to give it a bit longer to see."
