    No it is actually suppose to help it out. Give it time and it will work.

    I don’t see any reason it would cause that. Maybe you’re allergic?

    I read that the OPPOSITE was true okay….

    It contains the ‘good oil’ which seals the moisture in the skin ! It doesnt clog the pores.

    MY SKIN IS BETTER since i started on the cod liver oil capsule, btw.

    Any supplement has the ability to cause reactions. You may be allergic or it may be caused by something else. You could stop taking it and see if your skin clears up. Or ask your doctor.

    no i take omega 3 everyday and it actually makes ur skin softer and clearer it helps your heart too alot and high blood pressure and clogged arteries. there is actually zero negative to taking it. oh it’s also good for your brain too ;) bout the dense bump get it looked at if it doesn’t go away in a couple days.
