Ladies, I have recently gotten the Paragard in December. Beginning about February, I noticed cystic acne on my cheeks. I've tried everything to rid it. It has shown some improvement, but I still have several painful deep pimples on my cheeks. I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with acne and the paragard ? I know it is non-hormonal, but my body is very sensitive to a lot of things. Im just curious if there is any correlation between the two. I would love to hear any experiences that you have had !

I have wondered a bit about this as well. One thing I read, is that the copper iud can thrown off zinc levels.

I know someone that recently had to have it removed...hormonal reactions, but it was all actually triggered by an allergy to copper. It's not impossible.
