Mirena question: Terrible acne?

I was on mirena for 8 months and immediately starting getting acne (I had beautiful extremely clear skin before and never had break outs). Well at my two week check up the nurse said that it definitely wasn't the mirena, so I waited 8 long months and had constant breakouts (including cystic acne which scarred) and decided to get it out. Well it's been almost three months since it's been out and while most of the cystic acne has stopped and my skin has cleared up a bit I'm still getting acne. Will my skin ever be normal again the way it was before I got mirena?

Update:

PLEASE HELP LOL

Update 2:

I actually went to a dermatologist and she said I might still be having it because it takes 3 cycles for my hormones to get back to normal I've been using the stuff she prescibed me and it's still not clearing up the remaining acne =/

    I googled mirena side effects and found many references to mirena and acne so the nurse was wrong.

    Have you tried proactive or something similar to get rid of the remaining acne.

    It probably will, it just needs time. Here are some tips I got for getting rid of acne:

    Doctors say milk might be a cure for acne

    My magazine said that putting yogurt with strawberries and put it on your face as a mask (yeah it's weird but that's what it said)

    Neutrogena is a really great way to get rid of acne. Reviews said that neutrogena is just as good as proactive but cheaper. I wish you the best!
