A member asked:
I have a nexplanon insert and it constantly itches and feels really close to the sking like it is gonna stab through my skin is this normal?

If new insertion: will likely improve over a few weeks. If over 6 months, you should discuss with your doctor. You are supposed to be able to palpate it easily, but should not cause discomfort.
