Pimples: ..are not an "official" side effect of taking Biotin, but I found several anecdotal reports. I don't think the mechanism is understood. There is nothing you can do except to continue drinking water and avoid taking the supplements. Emphasize getting your B vitamins from food; biotin/"Vitamin H" or "Vitamin B7" can be found in whole grain bread/cereals, dairy products, peanuts, salmon, chicken.
