Hey all. So quick question. I’m wanting to start taking biotin regularly again. I did it before for 3 months but here is the problem: every time I take Nature’s Bounty biotin or a brand from Walgreens/Target, it gives me these white puss filled cysts on my forehead and around my eyebrows. It’s super gross and when they pop, they scar over like cystic acne. It sucks. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone on here and what did you do? Any brands out there that won’t do that? I came across a video once where the company claimed that their biotin doesn’t break you out with cystic acne but I forgot what it was. I’m in desperate need to get my hair loss under control and I know biotin is a major factor. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
AGA has little do with biotin, go see a proper derm. You likely need fin/dut if you have hair loss. Dutasteride once or twice a week and finasteride every day will keep your hair for a long-long time likely, but keep in mind that always consult a doctor before going this route and that this is not a medical advice. Cystic acne caused by biotin means you should stop the fuck you are doing with biotin. Throw that shit away, literally and please go see a proper doctor if you have such a problem. Not a trichologist, a proper MD like dermatologist.
