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.

Raisins are rich in essential fatty acids that help with weight gain. Plus, raisins provide important nutrients to the body.
• Eat about one-fifth cup of dried raisins throughout the day for about a month. This is one of the easiest ways to gain weight.
• Alternatively, soak one-fifth cup of raisins and five to six dried figs in water overnight. The following day, eat them in two parts. Follow this routine for about a month.

Pregabalin is better but it has more side effects like dizziness and vertigo. If you can tolerate pregabalin is better.
