Hi,
After nine years of severe facial neuropathy, a new doctor tried Methylcobalamin 10,000 mcg/ml injected twice weekly. Within a month, the neuropathy was gone. Considering I had tried everything from neurontin, enbral, methotrexate, you name it, nothing did anything. The only problem is that my skin is now loaded with cystic acne. I have never in my life had acne, let alone cysts. Every day, a new one appears. They are deep and painful. I now know that other people have had the same thing occur with methylocobalamin, even though my doctor claims that the two are unrelated. I know he is wrong. I worry that if I discontinue B12 shots, the neuropathy will return. I also worry that my face will be scarred if I continue. Is there another form of B12 the cures neuropathy that doesn't cause acne? Is there anything I can do now to heal the cysts on my face.
Also, the cysts have spread to the upper back region as well.
Best
