I was reading a thread where someone said they take vitamin b-5 to help with acne. Does it really help with acne much and is there any other vitamins that do?
B-5 seems to dry me out which is fine since I'm an oily WOP lol. But a standard multi B-vitamin makes me break out worse. Someone suggested that it was the biotin but I don't know.I was reading a thread where someone said they take vitamin b-5 to help with acne.

I'm pretty sure that is unnecessary, the B vitamins are only in a family because they are found together in a lot of foods. Supplementing one won't cause an imbalance in the others.Also, be sure to supplement with a B-complex to accommodate for the high levels of B5 in your system.
I am clearing up slightly at 3g per day.
There is a brand name b complex with zinc called Vicon-C, that may be of some help, it has to be ordered from a pharmacy, sometimes they have it on hand.
Vicon-C wont dry you up but it will help heal it, people use it to heal after they have been pierced, it might be worth a try.
Yes, you need zinc but not too much. I wouldnt dose myself with grams of anything. I would go to the drugstore and ask the pharmacist for a therapeutic vitamin called VICON-C, if he doesnt have it ask him to please order it for you, it is relatively expensive. When you get the vitamin take only one daily, stop all androgen use and take a ten day break from workouts. Purchase an antibacterial soap like phisohex or phisoderm and cleanse the affected area at least once a day. Keep unwashed hands away from it. Make sure your clothes and bed sheets are clean. Drink 10 glasses of water daily. Eliminate greasy foods and stop all drug and alchohol use. If you do all these things and see no improvement after 10 days, go to a Doctor. Or just go to a Doctor right now. I hope that helps
If you've got benzo/clindamycin AND you're using differin (a retinoic acid analog) there's no way any vitamins are going to do that much better. Those are good strong scripts. I use them both too. Actually, I've switched from differin to Tazorac recently. My face is pretty much clear 100% of the time.Yea guys I have stuff from dermotologist. Benzo, clindamycin and some differin.... Will vitamins help me at all or will they be useless and I should return them.
I use 8.5 grams of B5 a day and Benzaclin at night, it works pretty well.
Have you put benzaclin on your back. No reason it shouldn't work, it'll just get pricey.mine to but acne on the back is bad
