Ive been taking methyl b12 supplements (1500mcg) a day since april. from july, i switched to 1000mcg. didnt get tested for deficiency. ive always had acne before my period even after puberty but its now worse. could b12 be causing acne?

High, unneeded doses of vitamin B12 don't have side effects and the superfluous amounts of B12 are harmlessly passed out in the urine. A dermatologist can counsel you on causes of acne or factors that aggravate it.
