Folic acid is a man-made form of a B vitamin called folate. Folate plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and helps your baby's neural tube develop into her brain and spinal cord. The best food sources of folic acid are fortified cereals.

I took microcytic hypochromic anaemia treatment for 2 months (hb was 7.8) and got sudden acne flare up all over my face and neck and also gained 6 kg weight. I read that that taking vitamin b12 increases the amount of that vitamin on facial skin. This, in turn, causes a certain facial bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) to produce more of something called piriformis, which results in inflammation. And this could lead to acne. Before treatment my vitamin b12 levels were 362 pg/ml (211-911), folate was 9.20, ferritin - 56, plasma glucose random - hexokinase 106 and I was given 1500 mg methylcobalamin, folic acid 5 mg, ferrous sulphate 200 mg bd, ascorbic acid 500 mg bd for 2 months everyday. My lymphocytes are 51. It has been 10 days after stopping this medication but still new pus filled acne is coming everyday. Could it be because of methylcobalamin or high lymphocytes? Should I get porphyrins tests done? What to do for acne caused due to vitamin b12?

very less possibility of porphyrins.. treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Yes it is safe. Minimum requirement is 400 mcg but there is tablet with that strength. You can take becosules safely. Other preparations have 5 mg of folic acid which should be combined with vit b12.

Hi along with folic acid and vitamins you should be given some antibiotic like metrogyl 200 bds. You can also take some anti inflammatory tablets that will reduce pain and swelling. Take plenty of curds green vegetable and liquids. Avoid roti in any form. Take soft diet. Avoid constipation. You can take homoeopathic medicines like borex 30 tds for 5 days.
If it is due to old tooth brush or change of tooth paste change it. Keep us informed!
