Acne. It's something no one wants to deal with especially as an adult. Well, apparently my face hates me right now. I've never had a problem with acne, not even as a teenager so the last month or so came as a total shock. While working at my base, I had a conversation with one of my coworkers about his wife's battle with acne after getting Mirena (the IUD birth control). Once I started to notice the acne, this conversation came to mind. Although I do not have Mirena, I do have Implanon which is essentially the same concept. Since getting Implanon, I have not had any complications and actually like it (I had a horrible time with Depo and am way too forgetful to remember to take the pill), however, I really like my face as well. I plan to see a dermatologist to confirm whether or not my birth control could be the issue but until then, I guess I will try a different face wash.
Has anyone else had issues with acne while using birth control? Will my face ever be blemish free again?!?!
