Niacin and acne?

[anabolicpower]

I read today on a few boards that Niacin can cause rosacea (a form of acne). Wtf are these assholes talking about ? I was pretty sure that Niacin is good for the skin. I have taken up to 3g / day of the stuff and my skin was fine (i even believe i was better when on it)

most common thing when taking to much niacin is called a niacin flush. you get red, hot, and red splotches on your skin but it is temporary.

Yes, i know about the temporary flushing. But as far as i understood, they were talking about permament disease. I might try to get the link later.

yes please get the link. i have known hundreds of people who used niacin in a decent dosage and no other ill effects other than an occasional niacin flush have come up.
