I have been taking niacin for 3 months as part of a programme to reduce cholesterol. I also took some herbs (liquid given by the naturopath) and glutathione.
I take no other medicine or prescriptions whatsoever.
I have had an extreme reaction to niacin. After the initial tingling, redness and itching, over a 3 month period (it took me ages to work out what it was) I have skin eruptions on my chin and pimples as well. My chin is sore, red, very angry looking. I have now stopped taking the niacin and wait for the eruptions to disappear. I know it is the niacin because I stopped taking it for 2 weeks and the eruptions began to disappear and when I started again it reoccurred with a vengeance. I am interested if other people have similar reactions.
