What Causes Brown Spots On Legs After Having Mirena Insertion?
I'm 21 years old and have one baby, so I got the Mirena since Nov. 2010 and about 4 months after that I started getting brown spots all over my legs. I went to the dermatologist and he dignosed them as Schamberg's Purpura, but its kind of odd that I never had them before and they just popped up after the Mirena was placed. I was wondering if the Mirena had a side effect of brown spots on legs....

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that if the dermatologist is right then the skin manifestation that you have may not due to the intrauterine device, if this is purpura then just do nothing this would go away on its own, take care and have a nice day.
