Vitamin D may be linked to Skin Problems

Are you suffering from sever redness, itching, scaling and infected skin? A new US study released today says you may be Vitamin D deficient. These symptoms make people vulnerable and more susceptible to skin infections. The University of California San Diego Medical School has done an experiment on people with these facial issues, and found out that with Oral Vitamin D supplements the harsh symptoms rapidly decreased. Lack of Vitamin D has already been linked to other non-skin related diseases, but this was the first time this connection was made. Though, researchers are urging that patients speak to their dermatologists before changing anything in their facial health regime. This study was very small and only performed on an isolated group of people. If you're having skin problems and want to get some more information or find a physician go to dermanetwork.org. Photolink
