psoriasis and the mirena coil?!

Question: Psoriasis and the mirena coil?

i had a mirena coil put in in sep 2010 and ever since ive had really bad psoriasis! is this just coincidence or could the coil be causing it? have any of you found this happening to you?

Answers:

I work in a Medical Library and did a search...I found a study that included 38,000+ women who have had Mirena inserted...of those 38,000+, 4 people (0.04%) complained of developing psoriasis. Although on the rare side, it is a side effect of Mirena.
