Can vitamins cause acne ?
I'm concerned with a breakout of acne on my face in one area that won't go away. I take 500 mgs of vitamin c and a multivitamin every morning, could that be the cause ?
I've been using some nutrogena acne wipes, and the acne clears up for a day or two, then it comes back.
At first I thought it was my razor, so I bought a new razor and changed my shaving cream, but that didn't help.
Have any of you ever had this problem, and if so, what should I do ?

Acne is caused by the staph bacteria. It has nothing to do with what you use or don't use for vitamins or face wash. THe staph bacteria is the cause. If you acne is really bothersome then see your doc and start antibiotic therapy to get it under control. If it is mild just continue with the acne products and keep your hands away from your face.
