Reason For Having Dry Itchy Rash On Back, Hands And Knees After Implant

Hi,
I've had the implant for just under a year now and since I got it I have had a horrible dry itching rash on the back of my hands, wrists, inside of my elbow and behind my knees.
I spoke to a doctor who gave me some cream to help it which for a while did but then it came straight back again despite my doctor telling me it'd go away and not come back.
I was wondering if you knew what it might be, and whether I should remove my implant or what other paths I maybe should take?

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
If the itching is unbearable, you can try to get it relieved by medicines. But you had it since one year, you can continue to bear the itching.
If not i usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine, and triamcinolone 40mg injection every fortnight.
Take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses,sprouts,and protein rich foods to have blood,general health and resistance against infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
