I've had my contraceptive implant now for 3 years and 3 months. I'm on the waiting list at my doctors to get it removed in the next month or so - and I've just noticed that a random lump has appeared on my arm exactly where the implant is - the lump is sitting directly on top of the implant. it is not painful and it is soft to touch. does anyone have any idea what this could be? I have attached two pictures. imageimage
