Pimple due to B12 supplements
I took B12 supplements 1.5 mg daily, due to which I started to have pimples especially some tiny pimples in groups on forhead having appearances like prickly heat(but they are pimples not prickly heat), and on face I get only 1 or 2 pimples at a given time. I stopped taking B12 and started taking a Bcmplx instead. My pimples have reduced a lot, but I still have some. Stopping B12 and taking Bcmplx has given better results than stopping B12 and not taking Bcmplx. I think due to having taken only B12, i got imbalance in b vitamins in my body, that's why b complex improved the situation by correcting that imbalance because of all b vitamins being present in Bcomplex. Now I want to get rid of these pimples completely. So can I take Tablets containing 750 mg of niacinamide, 25 mg of zinc, 1.5 mg of copper, and 500 mcg of folic acid Or tablets containing niacinamide, azelaic acid, zinc, vitamin B6, copper, and folic acid? If yes, can you recommend name of a medicine with such composition?
