merina ? (tmi)

i had merina inserted almost 3 weeks ago. i got a rash(front to back) about a week afterwards. i tried to cure it myself and after about 6 days went to my gyn. she said to add baking soda to my baths, use dryer on cool setting to dry it, and to put on anti itch cream. well i did all this and after another 5 days it is no better than before. the don't clip the strings for another week,(they are poking me too) but i am going to call on monday and demand them to do it a week early.

now my question:
could the rash be from merina seeings that is the only thing that has changed for me lately? getting the strings clipped will help with the poking, but do you think the rash will go away after that?

i am so fusterated with this. i was in so much pain friday night i almost went in to the er to see what they could do. any suggestions? tia!

sorry you're in such discomfort...hope you find relief soon.That's a new one for me-of all the side effects of the mirena I've never heard of a rash-not saying it's not possible but I've just not heard of that...but since that's the only thing that's changed for you I guess it's possible for it to be the cause of the rash....HMMM My dr clipped the strings at the same time she put the mirena in for me...wonder why they waited? Again,hope you find relief...The only other thing I'd suggest for the itch would be some anti itch cream with oatmeal-they have oatmeal packs for the bath too (like for the itching associated with chicken pox and such-might could try that too)....((HUGS))
