Thank you for your question. Vitamin B won't necessarily trigger acne, however, it may interact with Accutane. I highly recommend you consult with your dermatologist who is managing your Accutane treatment and your doctor who is managing your vitamin B12 therapy regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
