Flooded with acne over forehead after vitamin b12 injection?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Acne: Yes, unfortunately B12 is on the list of medications known to exacerbate acne. The reaction should be transient though. You should discuss it with your Dr before having any more injections - it depends how important it is for you to have the medicine. https://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/acne-due-to-medicine/

Acne : B12 injections can cause exacerbation of acne . Try face wash like clearsil , if they don’t help then see your doctor for prescription of acne medications. Consider B12 drops in place of injection next time .
