"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."
