Around 4-5 months after getting it inserted I got huge hormonal cystic chin acne. I went to the dermatologist and he gave me some creams but he said hormonal acne is internal so if I really want to get rid of it I'd have to take a pill. I wasn't quite ready to do that so I got the creams and tried changing my skincare routine. The hormonal acne has gotten better but I still have lots of blemishes and clogged pores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825779 Fri, 01 Jun 2018 12:45:59 +0000 alphagam84 2825779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go see a dermatologist and they'll inject cortisone into the bad pimples to take care of them right away. It's a tiny needle and you barely feel it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825592 Thu, 31 May 2018 13:18:30 +0000 gotkimchi 2825592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: it was just a esthetician place - I belive I actually got a Groupon.

Hopefully I can get it under control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825544 Thu, 31 May 2018 10:24:24 +0000 Alba4 2825544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which IUD do you have? I have Mirena and don’t have this issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825543 Thu, 31 May 2018 10:18:08 +0000 Littlebit7 2825543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hormonal shifts can cause major problems with acne! The reddit subthread skincare addiction has helped me get control of my postpartum acne. Basically it involved taking myself back to basics and removing a lot of acne fighting stuff I was trying, introducing a lot of hydration and moisture, and starting a chemical (not physical) exfoliant. I also know of people that the iud just didn’t work for. I just had one placed a few months ago about 3 months postpartum and my acne has gotten better, not worse (although it’s definitely not gone) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825541 Thu, 31 May 2018 10:05:28 +0000 ineebee 2825541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My acne was/is due to PCOS, but I had a lot of success going to a good esthetician. She taught me how to take care of my skin, hormonal imbalances and all. It can be pricey, but it did such wonders for my skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825540 Thu, 31 May 2018 10:00:32 +0000 bubblegum 2825540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: Ohhh that's not bad. What would I google? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825537 Thu, 31 May 2018 09:52:57 +0000 gotkimchi 2825537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This doesn’t help your problem overall but I have def gone to a place that injects those really deep zits before graduation. It was like $25 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iud-acne#post-2825534 Thu, 31 May 2018 09:39:36 +0000 bubblegum 2825534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back in January I got my IUD put in and acne came and never left. I figured I would give my body time to adjust but I still have it. Its not so much pimples as it random blemishes (I guess I would say) than anything. No lie, I can be sitting there doing nothing a new "pimple" come up. It's not your normal pimple where you can pop it and be done with it.</p> <p>Has anyone dealt with this and what did you do to get rid of it? I have graduation coming up and was hoping it would be gone by now and I can't see my doctor until late June. (My mistake for thinking it would subside on its own)</p> <p>Help! </p>
