I just started taking Zinc for Acne (50mg) by Good and Natural five days ago. The recommended dose is two a day but I only take one. I also take 50 mg of minocycline twice a day, but obviously I take the zinc at least 4 hours after I take my prescription of minocylcine. Immediately the next day I had a broke out near my mouth and then every day since I have continued to get a new one. They are not nearly as bad as my usual hormonal break outs. I usually wake up with one ready to be popped and then it heals by the end of the day. I am a bit lost because majority of people report not breaking out at all while a few others state they broke out way worse and stopped taking it. Could this just be a possible initial break out or is my body reacting to this much zinc? I am not sure whether I should keep taking it or stop. If you look at reviews on acne.org there's like 221 positive reviews and 21 bad reviews as well. Anyone else experience initial break outs?

It's a pure coincidence, keep taking it.

If you breakout later again and again, maybe it's the cause but honestly I don't believe it at all :) I didn't breakout because of Zinc, personally, I also take 50mg.
