Hi, maybe this topic has already been covered....but I recently started getting severe breakouts all over my face and body. I have NEVER had more then two zits on my face at one time, never any on my body and all my breakouts I attribute to hormones. The only change to my diet/daily routine is that I started taking Biotin. It is a fairly light dose- 1000mcg/day, but could this be causing my breakouts? If so, is it a situation where my skin is just purging or is this just a typical side effect of this supplement... I am trying to decide if taking Biotin is worth it!

Thank you!!

Dear mekuipers:

Maybe some others will post their experiences while taking Biotin / But it may be a good idea to check with your physician or nutritionist.

They may have more familiarity with side effects of biotin and your own system.

Hopefully these breakouts will be a short-lived event.

Best Wishes,

There are many reports of biotin causing breakouts and pimples. So just drop the biotin.

We are all somewhat different, and what may works for someone else may not work for yourself.
