Birth Control
"I had Mirena removed 10 days ago after only 7 months. Reasons: 1. Terrible skin, worst of my life (I&#039;m 35): A little over 2 months into it I started getting acne and incredibly greasy skin. I&#039;ve always had great, clear skin even through my teenage years but on the Mirena would get one pimple after another. They&#039;d take forever to heal and leave long-lasting discolorations. Previously, I&#039;d get perhaps two pimples/year which would heal quickly without much of a trace. My face also looked puffier.
2. Facial hair (visible mustache and peach fuzz along the chin) and incredibly bristly, fast growing armpit/pubic/leg hair. I&#039;m back on Nuvaring and thank God my skin and hair is already back to normal."
