I was wondering if anyone else experienced break outs when using MSM? I took it for about a week over the summer and had a huge break out, so I stopped using it.

What Did you have a break out of??

It was an acne-like break out. I was taking MSM for 2 days and I discontinued it because my forehead began to look hideous. My forehead cleared up in about 3 days...I was thinking about taking MSM once again but I don't want to break out either.

Are you allergic to sea food by any chance? I am, and when I started using MSM, I had big rashes on my nect. I stopped MSM intake and they were gone within 3 days.

No I'm not allergic to seafood but I actually started MSM this past Tuesday (only taking 1,000 mg once a day instead of 3,000 mg like before). So far, so good; I'll gradually increase the dosage over the next few weeks. Thanks

I started taking 1000 mg of MSM a day about a month ago, and I have had an increase in the number of zits in my temples/receiding hairline. I haven't determined if the MSM has helped or hurt me. The zits are very easy to scratch off and always have a peach-fuzz hair attached to them. I probably have at least 10 of them as I type this.

Is this the same type of thing you experienced Fingers Crossed?

Yea, but I stopped taking the MSM all together. I think I have a bad reaction to sulfur based products.

I've continued to take 1000 mg a day. I went to my dermatologist and she said the bumps were ingrown hairs and gave me some samples of an acne cream called Duac. Only 3 days later, and the bumps are going away.

I don't have any results showing that MSM has helped me, and I don't have any results to say that the bumps were hair growing in, or ready to die and fall out. Maybe I'll know in a few weeks.

strange phenomenon... I took MSM (1000mg) in the past and I have not experienced zits, not more than normal anyway, I believe... but I don't know if it helped my hair or not. I think that my finger nails were growing a bit faster but maybe it was just my imagination although it was supposed to happen since MSM builds both hair and fingernails.

Ive been taking MSM (3 tablets a day) for 3 weeks or so now and I have gained spots on my chin, cheeks and forehead. I never get spots and this is the only thing I've added to my routine lately so I am guessing that's the cause! I will stop taking it, shame as it would have been interesting to see if it does speed up hair growth or not!
