A member asked:
I had my copper iud removed about a month ago and have since had a big flare up in acne. could this be the reason why? what can i do to help it?

unrelated: A copper IUD has no infused chemicals/hormones as do many other IUD's. As such it is an inert material that just makes the uterus not accept/nourish a conception. Any issue the rest of your system/skin has would not be influenced by the presence or absence of that copper IUD. See a dermatologist or your regular doc about acne.
