I have had a mirena in for 2 1/2 months. Within one week I had developed a rash on my hands which after two consultations with specialists is excema. I have used steroid creams but it gets worse. I have never had any thing like this before. This rash is also on my feet. I have had the mirena removed today as the link seems too much of a coincidence. The mirena has been helpful in stopping heavy bleeding etc but I cannot live with my burning peeling hands and need to know whether it is the mirena.

Yes, I had the same problem. I had 3-4 fingers at any given time that were subjected to intense dryness, cracking, bleeding, flaking, etc. Sometimes I would put creams on bandaids and cover them! It was terrible and painful. Since having Mirena out it seems to slowly be going away, so I am patient and guarded at the same time. Try putting intense lotion (Eucerin) on your hands and gloves overnight.... do that a few times and once your Mirena is out it will get better. Good luck! Keep us posted. Was that your only adverse reaction???
