Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have rashes around mouth , cheek sand forehead which is because of hypersensitivity to vitamin supplements. Hypersensitivity is an emergent situation which you should be immediately concerned about. You will likely continue to have adverse responses as long as you keeps on continuing supplements.
I would suggest you to visit your general practitioner and get it examined properly. Doctor may prescribe you other alternative forms like nasal, sub lingual or subcutaneous for taking vitamin supplements. Corticostreoids are first line treatment option to prevent this allergy. Rashes will start disappearing after 1-2 weeks.
Keep applying apple cider vinegar with the help of cotton swab in very less quantities. Apply ice cold pack and drink alot water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
