My concern was the "Acne" and horrible scarring that has left its mark.I had the mirena removed about a month ago but the acne has worsened. I feel like a freak... I never had acne in my life and now at the ripe age of 30 i am embarrassed to leave the house because of it. Its huge and looks like boils on my face. Please help with advice as to what i can do. I do not want to be stuck with this freaking ACNE!!!!

I've also had adult acne, I share your pain, mine was horrible! I refused to leave the house, wore layers of make-up, but that made it worse. I tried everything, not to sound like an advertisment, but Proactive was the only thing that worked for me.

I had many other side effects, but not bad acne (just mild). But in researching all of this I saw lots of other posts from women in your position (the Mirena IUD Side Effects forum on www.curezone.net was pretty helpful). Many said it got worse in the month post removal, then gradually got better. Hope that helps a little -- GOOD LUCK!!!
