Acne
"When I told my OB/GYN that I thought my Mirena was the cause of my acne, she put me on adapalene.  I have used it for 7 months now.  Initially, it made my skin break out terribly with large, irritated, dry patches.  I was only using a small amount.  This went on for about 4 months.  As I understood it, this was normal and would subside.  Eventually, it did, but I wasn&#039;t satisfied with the results, as I was still breaking out regularly.  So, I had my Mirena removed and went on an anti-inflammatory diet, along with turmeric supplements.  My skin finally cleared up!  I fell off the diet a bit and began breaking out again, so I attribute the clearing of my skin to dietary changes, and not to the adapalene.  For me, it just didn&#039;t work."
