Biotin ....EVILLLL but i still wanna use it

[angeleyez04]

OK guys i might be very silly for still wanting to use this mess cos i did not break out it was worse. I wish i had pictures to describe what happened. It started with my lips they seemed super dry then it got worse..they were dried,cracked bleeding and then my face looked like i got sun burned the skin was constantly flaking off...so i had to stop it. everything is back to normal but i still what to use it for hair growth... is there a way out.
Oh by the way i was using GNC hair skin& nails when this happened which contains 3000mg of biotin But i also have futurebiotics which has 1500mg i should i try this instead dont know if it will make a difference cos i had a bottle of 1000mg biotin and it gave me the reaction but this tim just on my lips not my whole face... when spoke with the doctor he said i was probably not reacting to the vitamin but some preservative in it..dunno what.
Is biotin worth the trouble my hair is really thin and short and i want it to grow so bad.. i have biotin shampoos and conditioners but they dont seem to do much...

I would say skip the Biotin because it sounds like had an allergic reaction but if you feel you'd like to try it again, I would suggest GNC Ultra Nourish-Hair which has 600mcg of Biotin per pill (dose is two pills, but take only one) and significantly increase your water intake.

You may be allergic to that brand somehow but I would check with my doc first.

yipes biotin scares me waaay to much i wouldnt do it.

but hey theres always c@@chie cream and horsie juice. i think smelling like burnt bacon sounds a lot better than skin damage.

That sounds right. That type of reaction is usually to that brand and their mix. I react like that when I take a certain B-complex. My whole face is just but once I switched brands, I didn't have a problem.

Ladies, when taking biotin you must take a b-vitamin complex to prevent the breakouts

 

[2themax]

Nikkipoo - is right! The B-Complex will definitely stop the breakage and even clear up the current breakage. I will never stop taking Biotin! It makes my hair grow & it grows much faster! You must also drink more water when taking Biotin to prevent the dryness in your skin and hair.

Hope that helps! Happy Growing!
