    Can Vitamin B12 be absorbed through the skin (topical creams)?

    While there are some topical B12 creams on the market, Vitamin B12 is generally not effectively absorbed through the skin. Oral supplements and injections remain the most reliable methods for increasing B12 levels. Topical creams may be useful for localized issues like skin inflammation, but they are not a substitute for treating systemic deficiency.
