Hey guys,
So I was just wondering if I could get anyone's opinion on this before I see my dermatologist. My whole life I've never really had much acne. I did start getting a little bit of hormone related acne starting a year ago, but it was very mild, and actually starting clearing up in February/March. However, I started developing much more persistent and sometimes cystic acne around April, which is just after I started taking 10,000 mcg of biotin daily for hair growth. I took the biotin for 2 months, and then stopped it in May, since I figured it was causing the cystic acne. However, the acne has not stopped. I still develop cysts almost every day on my back, and my shoulders are still very broken out, and nothing over the counter is helping enough. Is it possible that taking so much biotin for a few months would continue to give me acne even after stopping it like 3 months ago? I've always thought this cystic acne was hormonal, but now I feel like maybe it was the biotin. Any thoughts?

A lot of reviews on biotin say it breaks people out. If you take biotin, I think you have to drink a lot of water daily or switch to something tht works like biotin called Nature's Valley Hair skin & nails.

Exactly! You have to drink a lot of water while on biotin. As for your hormonal acne ; vitamins can have an impact on your hormones! With that said your body can take up to 6 months to self regulate ! I suggest you meet with your practitioner to treat the acne topically until your body clears! If your acne doesn't start or hasn't stopped by the 6 months mark, perhaps look into another acne therapy! Best wishes!
