Unfortunately, plant sources of b12 are few, especially in our country. Most vegetarian sources are fortified foods. You may however consider tofu and tempeh. For vegetarians with a b12 deficiency, usually, a supplement will be required. The dose will depend on your health status as well as your b12 levels.
Animal foods are rich in b12 but not advised as they have other ill effects on health.

Some sources say that vitamin b12 may be associated with acne. However further large scale studies are needed to confirm or refute it. You should get your vitamin b12 level checked and further decision, should be taken based on the result.
