Mirena (levonorgestrel) was put in 6 years ago for very heavy periods. not needed for birth control bc i had tubes tied. now i have hormonal acne. is the iud to blame?

IUD expired: Your Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD expired last year. It is only good for five years. If your acne recently appeared it is not likely from Mirena (levonorgestrel) now that it has expired. It needs to be removed at this point.
