Hi guys I recently was told I need vitaman b12 injections at the moment I am getting one injection a week.I have noticed that it is making my skin a lot worse and researched about it and saw that its a common side effect.I have bad acne on my face but also on my shoulders back and chest.My skin was just started to clear up from the birth control Yasmin.Its summer now and my skin is really getting me down and I can't go to the beach with friends and I barely leave my house.If anyone has had experience with b12 injections please please let me know your experience.I really want to stop the injections but my parents are forcing me to take them.
I can confirm that a B12 injection caused some of the worst cystic acne I've had in my life. While I don't know everything about acne to this day, I do know that anything that throws the body out of balance can cause a breakout. Do not do B12 injections. All you need is a plant-based diet - B12 has many plant sources as it's actually a bacteria.
hey ice baby, vegan here as well.
while i think that a vegan diet is great for treating acne for certain people (from personal experience),
i disagree with you when you say "all you need is a plant-based diet -B12 has many plant sources as it's actually a bacteria.".
the vegan diet barely has any b12. a lot of vegan have to supplement it.
the problem is that many supp. contain a crazy high daily value amount.
i can recommend taking a lower dosage. 3-4 mcg is the recommended daily dosage.

Vitamin B 12 is certainly not a bacteria and it is not generally in plants.
It is possible that the other chemicals in the B12 injection (antibiotics etc) caused the cystic acne NOT the B12 itself, although there is some evidence that B12 can cause acne by itself or with vitamin B6.
