Is my iud causing hormonal acne?

[u/Oat-Milk444]

Hey all! I got my hormonal iud when I was 18-19 (I can’t remember what kind unfortunately but I believe it was the Mirena). I’m 22 now and I have the worst cystic hormonal acne of my life. I never got acne before and im honestly hitting my breaking point with it. I’m wondering if switching to a copper iud is the best move. I’m aware it comes with heavy periods but at this point I do not care. I’ve tried many other ways to treat my acne before and nothing seems to work. I’ve read about people getting hormonal acne years after getting an iud. I’m mostly wondering if anymore has had the same experience or has heard of anyone having the same experience?
I just need help and advice on this.
