Just vitamin supplements will not help. Avoid food with high glycemic index like dairy products, nuts,chocolates etc. You may require more than 1 modality of treatment. If its severe and resistant isotretinoin may have to be started. This has to be supplemented by topicals and peels. Your dermatologist will advise a treatment plan after proper evaluation. Make sure you stick to it. It may take sometime.
