Has anyone taken nicotinamide and did it do you any good?
My dermatologist has suggested taking nicotinamide again. I took it for almost 2 years with little to no results. I still had many precancers and several positive biopsies for BCC and SCC. Has anyone taken nicotinamide and did it do you any good? And for how long did you take it? Any name brand suggestions?
Hi
,
I'm so sorry to hear about your skin cancer diagnoses! If you don't mind me asking, when was the last time you had a skin check or seen your dermatologist?
We actually just published an article by our advocate Judy that may help answer a few of your questions: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/niacinamide-vitamin/ She has been taking niacinamide for some time now and has seen some pretty positive results and clear skin checks.
Please let us know if you have any questions and keep us posted on how you've been doing. Sending positive and healthy wishes your way.
Warmly,
Sidney, SkinCancer.net ModeratorI was in my dermatologist office in September 8 was diagnosed with 2 SSC and removed September 16. My doctors have recommended me go back on the Nicotinamide but it really didn’t seem to help the last time I took it.
I was seen on September 8 diagnosed with 2 SCC and both were removed by Mohs on September 16. Both of my doctors recommended I go back on the Nicotinamide and try again, it didn’t really help the first time. I’ve already restarted taking my first bottle after their suggestion. Thank you for letting me know about Judy’s article.
