Has anyone else experienced bad acne after a high dose of vitamin B12 (injections)?

I had low B12 levels, so I had to have the injections. I had 6 injections over 2 weeks, and during this time, I found that my face, back and chest erruted with acne. I asked my doctor about this today, and she wasn%26#039;t aware of any other instances in which this had happened. I am assuming that it%26#039;s because of the B12 injections, because I hadn%26#039;t changed anything else in my lifestyle.


What I want to know is, has this happened to anyone else? I had my last of the 6 injections about 2 weeks ago, and the acne is still quite bad, especially on my face (around the base of my nose and chin).|||Yup I did. It was just my face though and cleared up with clearisil face wash in the morning and using the clearisil face pads at night. =]|||Yes! It%26#039;s definitely from the b12 shots! Try taking vitamin E (the gamma-tocopherol type) and it will help clear-up the breakouts. Good luck to you! Report Abuse
