"i have had implanon for over a year and absolutely loved it for the first 8 months, then the acne started. i have never had an issue with my skin before and thought &quot;oh maybe its just the stress of college or the water or something&quot; my test was to see if the problem continued over summer when i was back to a stress-free, clean environment. after a month in to summer, my face still looks awful. i enjoy not having a period but it&#039;s not worth my beauty. if my face doesn&#039;t clear up soon, i will take it out."
