Magnet Implant Issues

The magnet was implanted exactly 3 months ago, left ring finger. It seems to alternate every week where it will be fine, no inflammation, to a week of redness, tenderness, etc. I haven't had any sensations whatsoever. Do you think it's rejected and I need to pull it?

If I keep a band aid on it, it seems to be fine with no issues. When the band aid comes off, redness, tenderness.

  1. What kind of magnet is it?

  3. I have similar issues. I don’t think it’s rejection, but you probably did something on accident to disturb it (I work in retail, I find if I don’t wear my gloves when handling heavy freight, there’s a high chance of my finger being slightly inflamed for a bit)
