Suggest Side Effects Of Biotin Supplements
hi, I heard Biotin is a good supplement/vitamin for hair, nails, and skin. My problem here is that i grow a little amount of facial hair under my chin. Though hair is little but it is kind of thick. i was wondering if taking biotin would make the my chin hair denser and also give me pimples.

Hello welcome to the HCM
Since biotin is essential component of certain enzymes,for metabolism.
It is safe has no side effects if taken with recommended dose.
For hair below the chin I would like to first know that do you have menstural or weight gain problem also.As hair growth with increased weight and menstural problem and pimples could be sign of ovarian cyst.
Other wise it could be hereditary , but not because of biotin.
Hopefully my answer is helpfull.You can ask further regarding your quiries.
With best regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
