Mirena & Acne

I know there are other Mirena users on here (Ruby Soho?) - has anyone else been experiencing significant acne? I haven't had breakouts like this since I was a teenager. I haven't been able to figure out if it's PP hormones, BFing related or if Mirena is the culprit. All I know for sure is that my face is like the Exxon Valdez.

Re: Mirena & Acne

  • mine's gotten slightly worse, but it's the equivalent to what i had pre-PG. i didn't have any significant issues with it the last time i had it either.

    No problems here. But a friend had horrible acne on the mirena and decided to remove it (for other reasons too, not just the acne).

  • Yes my face starting getting bad so I had to change my skin care routine. This is what works for me so idk if it will work for all but I wash morning and night with cetaphil (sp?). At night after the cetaphil I scrub with the pro-activ face wash. Then I moisturize with Aveeno daily face lotion. I also don't reapply make up during the day. I just look haggard. I'm a teacher. Who cares? Lol ;) but it's been my experience that when dealing with breakouts a cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize routine helps a lot.
