IUD & Acne?

Question

I had an IUD implaned about seven months ago and I love it. Since I've had it inserted I no longer have to worry constantly about my birth control and as an added bounus I no longer get my period. There is however a down side. Up until I got my IUD I've had flawless skin, never had any problems with breakouts, but after I got my IUD it's acne city! I haven't had clear skin in seven months, I can treat my skin so that the breakout go away rather quickly but, is there anyway that I can prevent the breakouts, short of removing my IUD?

Answer 1

I found that taking prenatal vitamins has been helpful to my skin (and yes, I've never been pregnant before, I also checked with my dr to be on the safe side when it came to taking them and she said that it would be ok).

I buy my prenatal vitamins over the counter at my local Wal-Mart.

I would definitely get in touch with your dr to let them know what is going on and see what they think because another possibility is that you could be allergic to something in the IUD.
