I found this web site whilst looking for information on the mirena coil and acne. I had mirena number 2 fitted 6 months ago at 46 years old. I had a few blemishes at 40 but didn't relate it to the coil, thinking that age and my hormones were to blame. My second coil which was fitted in June was painful to fit. I have felt pain in my hip on and off since and have bad acne on my face (cheeks). I have suffered dreadful mood swings over the years which I have always put down to my inability to cope with 2 children and a husband who has high standards. My skin is awful and I have to say that clear skin was always an attribute before I had my coil fitted. I am exhausted all of the time and snap at what I recon must be mid cycle.
