Hi, I take a Solgar 22mg zinc supplement once a night before bed time and it's perfectly safe! So don't worry!
Whether it makes a difference to acne I don't know. I've been taking it for probably over six months and it hasn't got worse but I don't know if it's actually helped! I feel like it might have improved my immune system, I only had one cold during the whole of last year! You may as well continue to take the rest of the pack and see if you see any improvement in your skin....

I'll back track a bit to be safe given the advice below. Go see a doctor. As well as listening to any concerns regarding supplementation they can offer you better bespoke treatment for your skin/anxiety...

The University of Maryland Medical Center cautions that children under the age of 18 should not take any form of zinc supplement unless they are under the supervision of a doctor.

Consult with a doc to be sure.
