Vitamin B12 deficiency itself does not directly cause acne. However, some studies suggest that vitamin B12 supplements can potentially contribute to acne development in some individuals. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is believed that B12 supplements might alter skin bacteria that can lead to acne formation in certain people. If you suspect that B12 supplements are causing or worsening your acne, you may want to discuss alternative sources of obtaining vitamin B12 with your healthcare provider. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance on managing acne related to B12 supplements.
