Mirena and spots!

I had the Mirena inserted in September. Actually had it a few years ago but was on the pill for a couple years before having it this time.

Anyway, since having it in I'm insanely spotty. I had clear skin before, now I have numerous pimples on my forehead, my chest and on the back of my neck. They get quite sore too.

I have never got spots like this, not even as a teenager and certainly not on the chest and neck. So I assume it's related to the coil. Has anyone else experienced this?

Considering having it took out but not keen on going back on the pill! 😆

Mine have worsened but have always been bad. I take tablets for my spots anyway and they do seem to have calmed down. I don't know whether this is to do with the coil or stress or what though
