Vitamin B5 for steroid related acne

[bonacris]

Has anyone tried megadosing vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) with severe cystic acne caused by steroids.. i`m just curious as i dont really want to resort to accutane.

If this is the wrong section feel free to move it. Thanks

I would breakout during my time of the month. I went to a skin doctor who suggested taking 100Mg a day of B6 the week before my cycle. After looking up the benefits of b6, I decided to take it everyday. I have not broken out since. I have never had skin trouble before though, I think it was a slow development. The doctor said it was purely hormone related.

I know it's not the same situation,.but it's worth a shot. Plus b6 is really cheap.

Accutane from Needtobuildmuscle is the bomb. I use it all the time and its the only thing that prevents and keeps my acne under control .

^ u mean acnetame bro?

Anyways, this is quite interesting bonacris. I do notice when I stop taking my daily vitamin B-150's I do get more cystic type acne. I stopped taking them for about a month one time, and I got crappy cystic acne all over my neck area. I started taking them again 2 a day, and it cleared right back up.

it's worth a shot bro.

no doubt b5 works but you need to start at gram a day then adjust from there after 10 days.
