I take a multa vitamin for hair and nails and skin and it.has 400% dv of biotin. is that too much? I am experiencing some breakouts on my cheekbones and forehead right now and I'm not sure if it's caused by biotin or perhaps something else. what do you think?

Biotin isn't unsafe, as long as you drink a lot of water, because it's water soluble. At least 8 glasses a day.
Biotin is causing your breakout, because it's not getting enough water to dissolve the excess.
Just drink your water and be ready to experience amazing hair growth. :)

It might be because there's an imbalance of B vitamins in your diet. :o
Try taking a B Vitamin Supplement along with your Biotin and see if it improves.
Best of luck to ya. :)
