Does Biotin Cause Burning Sensation On The Skin?
I started taking 2000mcg of d-biotin about a month ago. I developed cystic acne on my cheeks and under chin and finally stopped taking the biotin 4-5 days ago. My skin is clearing up. However, it now tingles and has a slight burning sensation. Could this be due to the biotin?

Hello,
Biotin is a B7 vitamin which is water soluble and used in many biochemical reactions. Pantothenic acid B5 is one which causes burning sensation of the skin.
