Have Acne On Shoulder And Back. Is This Due To Vitamin Deficiency?
Question: Acne on shoulders and back since 6 months. Could it be because of Vitamin deficiency or side effect of the supplementation.
Hai
Thanks for posting your query.
Acne on the chest and back is caused by many factors like obstruction to oil duct in the epidermis, increased oil secretion, increased influence of androgen and increased bacteria p. Acnes.
So you need to take powerful drug like isotretinoin on the advice of your dermatologist.
It is a disease where good control can be achieved.
I hope it is clear.
Have a good day
