A member asked:
Can the mirena (levonorgestrel) cause break outs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly unlikely: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud causes an extremely tiny amount of hormone into your body everyday for about 5 years. The dose is so small that it is very unlikely to cause acne or any other systemic illness. There are lots of reasons for acne to get worse, but the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud is not a very likely cause.
