vitamin b5 amd acne

[danrojigga]

Ive been struggling most of my life with acne especially on my arms and back. Ive tried all the soaps and creams and even accutane ( accutane is way to harsh for me). So ive Been doing some reading on vitamin b5. Seems like the protocal is to mega dose it at 10 grams a day. I am going to give it a whirl and also run doxicylyn (dont know if i spelled that correctly?)

Have any of you tried this approach? My understanding is that b5 nearly shuts down sebum oil production and that will in turn shrink pores and the antibiotic will attack bacteria that feed off of the sebum oils. Any advice is appreciated!

I believe mega doses of B6 as well was said to me by a
doctor friend....I to have had bad acne bouts on my back
and have cobiesk pores(overly large) so it's a constant
battle.
I tan (drys the skin )
I take 100mg of minocyclin a day
Shower 2 x per day.
Out of all these the tanning shows the most
Noticeable effect.

I refuse to lay in a Tanning bed just doesnt fit me lol but being out on the boat this summer with my shirt off the sun exposure sure does help.
