A member asked:
Nexplanon is inserted very shallowly, directly below the skin. forms a bump that rises above the skin. is this normal, or should it be inserted deep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nexplanon: Nexplanon is inserted shallow allowing for ease in removal. Sounds as if it was correctly inserted. If you have concerns have your doctor examine your arm and seek their opinion.
