Acne after AZ vaccine

5 replies

I had my second dose of AZ a week ago. Since then, my chin has been covered in acne. The vaccine is the only thing that could have caused this. Has anyone else experienced acne as a side effect?

If you're susceptible to hormonal acne then the vaccine could be an indirect cause, as it seems to be affecting some women's menstrual cycles

Hi cooperage, I do get hormonal acne and wondered if there could be a connection. Luckily the vaccines haven’t affected my periods but it seems they have done something hormonal to me!

I had moderna jab and have had the same. Hoping it doesn't last much longer. Been a month. I think it's more related to immune system changes.

SonnetForSpring I’m sorry to hear that you have the same issue. I’ve also been suspecting that the immune system could be involved. Hoping our acne clears up soon!
