There has been some coverage in the press of Americans developing bad skin after the moderna jab. All the injections stimulate the immune system so it could be why you have acne.

My son has really bad psoriasis on his face and since he had his first moderna jab his skin has cleared up, it’s only recently he had the jab so we will have to see if the effect is ongoing.

I had what I believe to be covid at the start of the first lockdown, I don’t know for sure as they weren’t testing then like they do now but I was left with greasy skin and hair for a good 6 months after.

I had Pfizer's and didn't notice any acne. But as soon as i get my b12 jab my back gets full of them.

It is not at all uncommon to get hard acne like bumps while doing aggressive B12 injections. No change or other issue after Moderna vax.
