I started the Nuvaring 3 1/2 weeks ago. Within the first week and a half I broke out in a horrible rash on my hips and thighs. My doctor said that it is not a side effect of the ring but I have never had sensitive skin or been allergic to anything. She did prescribe me a topical to apply twice daily. By the end of the second week the rash has spread to everywhere except my face, hands and feet. On my chest it looks almost like a heat rash but everywhere else is painful red bumps. As a birth control it worked because my boyfriend would not go anywhere near me. I finally took it out middle through the 3rd week. It has almost been a full week since taking it out and the itching is completely gone and the rash is clearing up. I just have horrible scabbing from the rash and of course I have the longest period ever because I pulled it out. I WILL NEVER USE THE NUVARING AGAIN!!
