Could leakage of a saline and capsule implant cause a skin rash?

December 31, 2014
Asked By:gillianb4 in Tampa, FL

I had saline implants placed in 7/2004, in September of 2014 I noticed that it was slowly leaking. In November of 2014 I have obtained a skin rash on upper and lower extremities. All methods of medicine and creams havent helped. Could this be the reason?
