B5 Red face below the mouth?

[lazer84]

For me B5 at doses of 5-10grams/daily works pretty good for controlling acne, unfortunately I always develop this red face below the mouth & corners of my mouth. It sucks, because that is more noticeable than the acne. My skin just turns red in those area's & I thinkin it's the high dose of B5. This was while doing a low does test only cycle btw.

Anyone ever experience this?

High doses of Niacin B3 can cause facial flushing, but I don't know about B5 doing that. Could be that you are drying out your skin and the areas on the sides and underneath your mouth are more sensitive to this. Have you tried using Hydrocortisone on those spots?

Just googled Hydrocortisone---it likes that may help. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks
