Beauty Tips For Body Care
All, 32yo Male hoping for some advice (if possible) about body acne triggered by hydroxocolbamin (B12) injections.Background: Was severely deficient in B12 so had several (6 x 1000 micrograms) injections back in July this year over a 2 week period. Everything seemed to be ok and levels came back to normal. Had a follow up injection (just one) in early November and within 2 days, I developed back acne and shoulder acne and some on my chest too (none on face).For reference, I have one or two pimples every so often on my face and rarely one on my back but never shoulders, chest or other weird places like behind my ears and have never suffered from severe body acne or face acne so this has thrown me though a bit of a loop. It's summer here in Australia so I would love to go tonthe beach but too embarrassed at the moment.Treatment: Went to my GP and he said it was folliculitis and gave me a 7 day course of Cefalexin (antibiotic) which didn't do anything. I also bought a benzoyl peroxide body wash (5%) and have been using daily for just over a month but it hasn't made much difference yet. Just started using a Salicylic Acid wash too. Most of the red bumps aren't painful (but the ones around the shoulders are a mix of papules and pustules).I went back to the GP and this time he said it was acne and prescribed another antibiotic (Doxycycline) for 6 weeks (currently 2 weeks in) and said if there has been no change in 6 weeks, he will give me a referral to a dermatologist.Has anyone ever had the same reaction to B12? Should I be doing anything different etc. Any tips, tricks or wisdom appreciated and sorry for the long post.CheersPicture body acne - back
