Flush your body with lots of water and stop taking the biotin until your breakouts cease. :nono:

Plus once that clears I believe your supposed to take it with a B-complex to prevent the breakouts.

I agree with lana. This same thing happened to me, and it happened with MSM too. I was drinking 64 oz of water while I was taking it, assuming that it will take a while for it to "detox" my body. So I decreased the amount I was taking and upped my water intake. I still broke out. Then I just stopped taking it all together, and I still didn't stop breaking out :nono: I just upped my water intake to 80 oz. I think it made my body toxic or something. I wouldn't touch any sulfur supplements with a ten-foot pole :wallbash:

Ok. Vent done.

I suggest you stop taking it ASAP. Drink a minimum of half your body weight (in ounces) of water daily. I also suggest doing a detoxifying program or something. I took a purge (Magnesium Citrate Oral Solution Saline Laxative) and I saw a 100% improvement in my skin and a huge decrease in the amount of acne after drinking it. I just took two days. Let me warn you...it is a laxative...so take it on a Friday and plan to stay home the next day after taking it! I get it CVS for like $2.

Externally, I exfoliated with baking soda and use a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. Acne Free has a cleaner and moisturizer that can help reduce acne and fade dark marks. I saw results from this in just one day.

I hope this helps!

You probably should refrain from taking it or cut the dosage.

If you're taking a multi-vitamin for women, you don't need as much biotin.

I take a biotin/folic acid supplement and haven't had any problems.

Drink water too.

Haha! My dad used to "Smooth Move". He was old, though.

Eat fiber, girl!

Exactly this will do it.

Stop taking that crap is my only recommendation.

Yeh, your nails grow like crazy, but it's not worth the havoc to your skin. It did NOTHING for my hair. :perplexed Now a year later, my back looks like the DOTS game. I never had this many scars on my back until that stuff. It's ot worth it.

[delitefulmane]

I would have to agree with the ladies on here!! PLACE THE BOTTLE DOWN, STEP AWAY AND STOP TAKING IT IMMEDIATELY!! When I was taking it this summer it made my nails grow rapidly...the longest they'ver ever been but my skin looked like I had the chicken pox or some bad mosquito bites!! And mind you I have never had ache before in my life..well not that bad!!

[Candy_C]

get biotin from natural foods instead

skip biotin and drink tons of water

[Brittster]

Personally, I'd stop taking it and try other supplements.
I know that plenty members here like oils and take Flaxseed and EPO and it's good for their hair and skin. Another supplement that's good for your hair is silica, you can try that if Biotin breaks you out. Not everyone's body agrees with Biotin and MSM.

[tt8]

I stopped taking it all together. It was just too much trading one problem for another:ohwell:

[1QTPie]

I'm glad you did!

[Encore]

I just stared back on a HSN vitamin and it has 3mg of Biotin.....my face looks like a pizza.

I tried Lawd knows I did but I cannot....WILL NOT. have my face looking like this anymore.:nono:

[Brittster]

I'm glad you stopped taking it. I was taking only 2500mcg back in December and it made me start to break out and it's like it took a few months to leave my body b/c I would still get break out bumps here and there even after I stopped. Then I went on bc pills which started to make me break out too :spinning:. I took biotin w/ the hopes of making my nails healthier, it was not worth it :nono:.

[SoSweet08]

What I did was..

*I stopped talking it
*Uped my water intake
*Had a lot of Vitamin C
*Washed my face with Aveeno Clear Complexion
*Moisturized with Aveeno Positively Radiant
*And I used Shea Butter at night

My breakout stopped and my spots went away.
