I am 31 years old, I have an IUD for contraception and I have acne?

Question

I am 31 years old, I have an IUD for birth control and I have acne. The beginning did not appear in my question. I am talking about acne. Thanks Sterilet Mirena for 5 years, I just changed it 1 week ago. I've always had a bit of acne but I think it's a bit exacerbated since the change. I wash my face in the morning and evening with Effaclar i wash my face in the morning and evening with Effaclar micellar water for oily skin from Laroche Posay and then I apply Effaclar duo acne treatment cream.

Hello ma'am, would it be possible to know which IUD you have and since when did you notice the acne? Did you have acne before? Thanks for the information! If you didn't have the problem to this extent before, it is unlikely that the IUD is the cause, but it is not impossible. On the other hand, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to determine if it is the IUD that is the cause after only 1 week. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
