Skin reaction
Hi I have a dark (hyperpigmented) scaly rash starting from my right breast going down my right arm in a linear pattern (looks to be following my vien track) I noticed it on my breast at the end of my pregnancy (thought it was just stretch marks) but it didn't start spreading down my arm until I got my birth control "Nexplanon" implanted in that right arm a few days after giving birth. Im freaking out because it looks really odd, does this sound like some type of allergic reaction or worst ?

Thanks for the query.
Kindly meet a Dermatologist near you for diagnosis and treatment plans. Similar presentation can be seen in many skin diseases and can be diagnosed during a consultation. Over the counter (OTC) anti-allergic medications may be useful till then, but consultation should not be delayed too much.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
