Biotin question...........

[queenofmean68]

Does Biotin cause breakouts? If you experienced breakouts how many mgs are you taking per day?

Especially when I was taking 10 MGS. It does cause small breakouts, but Edie said her doctor told her that was like a detoxing of old skin preparing for new skin.

I take alot of biotin but I do not get breakouts but I drink tons of water.

It caused rashlike bumps on my face at dosages ranging from 2000 mgs-5000 mgs. I no longer take it. It didn't matter how much extra water I consumed, my skin didn't clear up until I elimated it totally from my vitamin routine.

HTH!

i was taking 3mg but was only drinkin one glass of water when I increased the water amount the lil bumps on my forehead went away

Hmmmm, I'm currently taking 600mgs a day. I already have issues with my skin and I don't want them to get any worse.

I was taking 5000cmg of biotin and found myself getting a pimple popping up here and there...which is a rarity for me. So, I had to cut them down to 2000 mcg, but I drink 64 oz of water/day, so that might have helped too. I may even reduce it to 1000 mcg. I also take flax oil and Oil Olay vitamins too now...so they may be keeping my skin clear. I don't know.
