I think taking fish oil daily gives me seldom skin pimples like cists on my face, anyone else having this problem? When I stop the fish oil the pimples stop occurring. The fish oil is mercury free I am just wondering if it is causing this.

Never used the stuff, but I've heard nothing but good. Still, you may be the exception. Why not try staying away from it for a month, and seeing what happens.

I've been using it to great effect, no skin issues to speak of. Maybe you're allergic to something like the gelatin used in the pills? Might even be sensitive to the packaging, I suppose.

You're probably sensitive to the increased oil intake. It's like for adolescents with acne, dermatologists recommend limiting whatever seems to cause acne breakouts.
I get pimples in the weirdest places (like my ears and eyelids!) when I eat nuts or chocolate.

Hmmm, I think we are much alike, do you have fine skin? Smile

Besides living in Maine I eat fish and shellfish nearly every other day. I just may have all I need of the oil. My dad used to make us all have a spoonful of cod liver oil after dinner each night as my siblings would hold it under their tongue and rush to spit it out in the toilet. Smile

Family affair, God bless his heart. Smile

I just recently started taking two supplements and I am quite pleased with the energy and overall wellness, healing they are giving me.

One is" "Glutathione" 500mg (pharmaceutical grade) three times a day (whole foods)

The other is: "Alpha Liopic Acid" 600mg once a day (GNC)

Plus a multi-vitamin with b6 and b12 etc. (whole foods)

any thoughts?

I HIGHLY recommend the Glutathione.

Dose may be too high and you might also have to find a different face soap .

Infra seems to have hit it. (at least what I have suspected)

Nuts seem to bring on the exact same pimples. So yes, the dose may be too high for me. Even once a week with the fish oil will give these to me. I think too much vitamin E can also do this. Maybe my body stores oils moreso than generality.

I should probably get my cholesterol levels checked. Cut down on other oils. Maybe use olive instead of vegetable or canola and strictly lean meats.

I generally buy high end natural soaps and rotate them often.

I also get professional face peels by a trained dermatologist. That makes the skin much more healthy can bring pimples lying dormant to the surface. But I don’t think this is it because I have been using acids consistently on my skin for years.

I seem to get a pimple every two months or so. I have friends who do too. I have considered they were staph but I believe staph sets in after the pores get plugged.

I was at Mc Donalds the other day and some guy had a big pimple on his face about the size of mount Vesuvius. Smile

Again it seems that it is related to grease and too much intake.

Clogged pores, oils that do not leave the body as easily as water soluble minerals and nutrients, only a hunch.

Alpha Liopic Acid is good. GNC prices are not. Not sure, but I think the spelling is lipoic.

Hmm and GNC doesn't have much of a guarantee their supplements are what they claim to be. I guess they have an independent company that randomly tests them. Smile
