Copper IUD side effect12/08/2008 |
I just got an IUD in October and noticed that I broke out in a rash on arms, neck, stomach, and back. I thought it was a pimple but it itches and is coming up in clusters. Can i take something for this or is this a severe copper reaction? As for IUD, yes period is heavier and I seem to have tenderness in stomach.
You need to get examined by a physician, especially in the setting of abdominal tenderness with IUD. It is difficult to make an evaluation of the rash that you are describing (which is quite generalized and non-specific) without seeing it, so a visit to the dermatologist would be best.
