It's possible that the recent vitamin B12 injections  could be contributing to your breakout. While vitamin B12 is essential for health, there is some evidence that high doses can trigger acne in some people, particularly if they are already prone to breakouts. This is due to changes in skin bacteria that can result from excess vitamin B12. If the vitamin B12 injections are indeed the cause, the acne may gradually subside on its own as the levels of B12 in your body stabilize. However, this could take some time , depending on how your body processes the vitamin. To determine if B12 is the cause, you might want to : 1. Monitor your skin over the next few weeks now that you've completed the injections. 2. Maintain a consistent skincare routine that's suitable for acne prone skin. 3. Consider avoiding other potential acne triggers, such as oily or comedogenic skincare products, during this period. If your acne persists or worsens, it might be worth consulting with a dermatologist online or visit the clinic to rule out other factors and explore treatment options.

Pimples, also known as acne, are primarily caused by a combination of factors involving the skin's oil glands, hair follicles, bacteria, and hormonal changes. Here are some of the common causes of pimples: 1. Excessive sebum production: Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, it can clog the hair follicles, leading to the formation of pimples. 2. Clogged pores: The hair follicles or pores can become clogged with dead skin cells, dirt, and other debris. When this happens, it creates an environment where bacteria can thrive, causing inflammation and resulting in pimples. 3. Bacterial activity: The skin is home to bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). This bacterium feeds on the sebum produced by the skin and can multiply rapidly in clogged hair follicles, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. 4. Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can increase sebum production and alter the normal functioning of the skin. This hormonal imbalance can contribute to the development of pimples. 5. Diet: While the relationship between diet and acne is not fully understood, some studies suggest that certain foods, such as high-glycemic-index carbohydrates and dairy products, may worsen acne in susceptible individuals. However, more research is needed to establish definitive links. 6. Stress: Stress can aggravate acne or contribute to its development. High-stress levels may increase inflammation in the body, leading to acne flare-ups. 7. Medications: Some medications, such as corticosteroids, androgenic steroids, and certain anticonvulsants, may cause acne as a side effect. 8. Cosmetic products: Certain makeup, skincare products, and hair styling products that are comedogenic (tend to clog pores) can contribute to the development of pimples. It's important to note that the causes and severity of acne can vary from person to person, and treating acne effectively often requires a tailored approach based on individual factors. If you're experiencing persistent or severe acne, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. contagiosum is a viral skin infection caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), a member of the poxvirus family. Here are key points about the condition: 1. **Nature**:    - It produces benign, raised, flesh-colored or pink lesions on the skin.    - The lesions are typically small, with a dimple or pit in the center. 2. **Appearance**:    - Lesions are usually round, smooth, and firm.    - They can range in size from 2 to 5 millimeters in diameter.    - Often appear in clusters and can occur anywhere on the body, but commonly found on the face, neck, armpits, arms, and hands in children, and on the genitals, lower abdomen, and inner thighs in adults. 3. **Transmission**:    - Highly contagious.    - Spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, including sexual contact.    - Indirectly via contaminated objects, such as towels, clothing, or toys.    - Can spread by autoinoculation, meaning the person can spread the virus to other parts of their body by touching or scratching the lesions. 4. **Symptoms**:    - Typically painless, but can become itchy, red, or inflamed if irritated or infected.    - In immunocompromised individuals, lesions can be more widespread and persistent. 5. **Diagnosis**:    - Usually based on clinical appearance.    - In uncertain cases, a biopsy or microscopic examination of the lesion can confirm the diagnosis. 6. **Treatment**:    - **Physical Removal**: Methods include cryotherapy (freezing), curettage (scraping), or laser therapy.    7. **Prevention**:    - Avoiding direct contact with lesions of infected individuals.    - Not sharing personal items such as towels, clothing, or razors.    - Maintaining good hygiene and washing hands frequently.    - For sexually active individuals, using protection can reduce the risk of genital lesions.
