Hello,
I was taking a low dose birth control and was on it for 2 months until I couldn't handle how painful my underarms were, especially the left side including breast and nipple (which my doctor said I'm ok). But I noticed for almost a month now I have had this red blotch clusters on my inner thigh. Before my thigh just hurt with no marks, now it's noticeable. It's not like a bruise and the pain seems to come and go. Of course I Googled and it listed a bunch of reasons as to why I could have this. Thankfully birth control was one of them, but there were others including Cancer that have me freaking out. It's bad enough I have Fibromyalgia so I am always in pain. I did have my physical a few months back (it was when I got the pills) and my blood work was all good. And also for the past 2 years I have had CT and MRI on my head, jaw and neck, x ray of my chest, and numerous blood tests to understand why I have chronic pain including my headaches and they were all fine, I'm "healthy". But I'm still worried because you know "what if they missed something".
I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this when taking birth control as a side effect? They call it Erythema nodosum, though I'm not sure that's what it is as I need to go see a doctor. I just hate feeling the need to run to a doctor every time.
