B12 injections and breakouts on face

2017-10-12 02:22:36
Hi, I have always had slight acne issues. Recently my vitamin b12 went low at 121 and hence Dr has suggested to take 1 Renerve injections every day for 6days. Also 1 iron tablet a day for 2 months. It's a clear coincidence that within 12days of me starting my treatment - my entire face has filled up with Small and big acne . Is it due to the treatment? 2 Drs have said 2 different things. One - Acne Vulgaris and other Sycosis Barbae. Please suggest.
