Family Practitioner Questions Rashes

Can vitamins cause rashes?

A few months ago, I started getting a strange rash on my elbows and this is around the time I started to take multivitamin supplements. Is it possible my vitamin is causing the rash?

It is possible the supplement is causing the rash. Likely it is some filler in the pill rather than the vitamins themselves. Changing brands might help.
Yes, supplements can cause dermatitis. In my experience, usually, it’s fillers that are used. Some people can be allergic to B vitamins, which I feel is most common.
