"Nexplanon implanted July 7, 2015. Insertion, some weird deep bicep pain in the following weeks but fine. Spotted off and on every week the first couple months, very light. Skipped Sept, bleed for ALL of Oct. Doctor said all still normal adjustments. Acne went crazy, intense patch-like on my cheeks. And lost 1/2 my hair volume. Again, docs said this was normal. Saw dermatologist which helped a lot. Aside from the patches, my skin looked healthier than ever. Jan, I developed 2 abscesses on my face! Then bled for 6 weeks, had it removed the end of Feb. Awful awful awful. Really talk to your doc about your acne history and take notes from your body early if it's just not going well. The docs here in Asia hate Nexplanon and remove it often."
