Hi, I had the implant and it was the worst mistake of my life! Not only did my skin get really bad but I had to have an operation for an illness that I got whilst I had the implant in, and after the op the symptoms came back and it turns out the only way it went away was to have the implant removed. I must have seen about 10 different doctors before they reffered me to see a specialist and she then said she'd never seen anything like it...! But in answer to your question, the only thing that made my skin better was to have it taken out, which wasn't a very pleasant experience! sorry to sound a bit miserable!!! xx
