Can Smoking Result In Rashes On Buttocks And Back?
Im a 24 year old girl and I just stopped smoking 4 days ago on Tuesday. I have a rash on my butt/back that looks like it's spreading. I first noticed it Wednesday. I started taking gummy vitamins which contain niacin the same day I quit. Which should I do.

I am glad to hear you stopped smoking. The rash you have may be related to the niacin, however niacin also would likely cause facial flushing as well.
I would stop taking the vitamins and see what happens. If the rash does not go away or gets worse I would see a dermatologist.
