paragard and acne
Has anyone else experienced severe acne while using paragard? Insertion was a pain and I don't want to take it out again if I am just breaking out coincidentally. But I feel like since I got it my face gradually started getting worst. Its been a year and I went from a pimple here and there to acne every where! Im getting scars from it it's getting so bad. The only thing I can think of is maybe something in my diet or stress. Since there's no hormones in it, the doctors dont see a correlation.
I'm going to ask my doctor about Accutane when Im done bf my toddler which will probably be soon anyway. I just cant understand why I never had acne problems and then they appear in my late 20s! I also feel tired alot but that could be from extended breastfeeding I'm guessing. Is there anything natural I can do for my face? I tried otc masks etc nothing seems to make a difference.
I had extremely bad acne all my teenage life, I'm 21 now. I got the paraguard after I had my son 2 years ago and it didn't make my acne worse. I actually went on accutane in the beginning of this year and since finishing it 4-5 months ago, I still haven't had any breakouts or bad pimples. So, I don't think it's the paraguard. Especially since there's no hormones
Nothing worked for me. I tried every over the counter skin mask, face washes, proactiv, washed my pillow case everyday, tried not wearing makeup for weeks.
Finally I tried antibiotics which worked somewhat, it wasn't the magic pill like accutane is, but it helped. But if you're on the bc pill don't try antibiotics, that's how I have my ds so just a warning since my dr didn't warn me.
But they'll have you try topical gels and creams with antibiotics before starting accutane
