I've remtly been diagnosed with PA. I finished my two week course of loading doses two weeks ago. Since then I have suddenly broken out in spots on my face. I have never suffered with acne before in my life and I am 28. I've been to the doctors and I've been given antibiotics and still no change. Has anyone else had this or know of anything I can do as it's causing me alof of stress.

    Hi Kelly 

    Sadly your not the only one here I feel it's a pretty common side effect. I've read others that have rather big painful ones (I've other meds that give me those) since starting b12 back in June I've also started getting little ones (run my hand over my skin it feels like sandpaper!  My advice is go back to Dr's till you find something that works. There's lots of lotions and potions to try. 

    Good luck.

      Thanks Liam, I've been to the doctors this afternoon and spent some more money on prescription charges for more tablets to swallow and creams for my face. Fingers crossed this time it works. It's hard when the doctors keep saying it has nothing to do with the b12. I know my own body and this is the I my thing that's different and I have never had acne before in my life. I hope you feel better too and at least these forums are more helpful x
