> I noticed a bad flare up of acne as well after using fish oil. Both the salmon capsules, and bottled cod liver oil. I don't bother with each anymore cause it makes my acne much worse. Acne's something I tend to struggle with anyway. I don't need anything else making it worse! :)

I hear you! It's so strange that this reaction to fish oil is prevalent yet there's virtually nothing in the literature about it. Tealady's reading that low B5 might be involved is the only information I've seen or heard concerning this.There was a time that I took large doses of it without a problem. I purchased the fish oil through a holistic doctor. I wonder what the difference was then. I'm on 2 grams a day now and my face is definitely oilier though I'm not getting those welts on it. At some point I'm going to try increasing the dosage and see what happens.
