"Niacin supplements have been miraculous in eliminating my symptoms. I had both psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and I also had skin issues. On the skin, I had a thick, scaly, darkly pigmented rash around my genitalia. Dark, scaly, pigmented skin is a classic symptom of pellagra that often manifests around the neck or hands. For me, it was around my genitalia. Two weeks on niacin, and the rash has completely cleared up. I also no longer suffer from depression or anxiety."
