Spots

[Chance15]

Hi folks it’s being a bit any way as any body had/got spots on body.Since having b12 injections or booster jab my bum is covered in spots I’ve never had spots before lol.

Yes, that’s not an uncommon reaction when a B12 deficiency is first treated. The good news is that it tends to be temporary.

Try asking a pharmacist about treatment.

[Chance15 in reply to fbirder]

Fbirfer any idea why it causes that.

[fbirder in reply to Chance15]

Nobody knows for sure. The best theory I've read is that the sudden increase in B12 gets to the bacteria and stimulates them to grow more than normal. stm.sciencemag.org/content/...

It is definitely not caused by excess homocysteine being purged from the body by B12. Despite an infamous B12 web site suggesting that as the cause.
