Hallo i have bad acne. i already have the iud in and i was wondering if i can use the pill with it?

Possible but.. : Sure this would be possible. However we have much better medicines now for your acne. There are multiple topical medicines which effectively help your skin “peel” off that outer layer of skin which gets “sticky” in the pathology of acne. Other medicines include antibiotics which eradicate the acne bacteria. We could help in a prime visit! Best of luck!
