Is Acne Medication Causing Breakouts On Skin?
Hello there. I ve got a question I ve been taking a vitamin supplement for skin, hair and nails for the past two months. I ve got acne prone skin and I ve finished roaccutane treatment about a year ago. I ve been noticing that i have been getting breakouts over the last 2 months. Can the vitamins supplement that I m taking be the cause of this? I would appreciate it if you could answer this question. Thank you

Hello,
Yes some multivitamin tablets especially those having vitamin B complex can cause
acne like lesions called acneiform eruptions.
The best option would be to take just plain biotin tablets for hair growth.
Thanks
