Re: My eczema getting better

I stumbled across a website last week about how too much booze over a long period can cause a deficiency in vitamin B6 and skin problems.

Last Sunday i started taking the following suppliments:

Vitamin B complex
Zinc
Brewers Yeast

I am avoiding taking too much steroid cream at the moment as a test to see what effects these vitamins have on my body.

I'm taking a much higher doses that the recommended amount, but figure that my body needs more at the moment to repair my skin.

In particular i would have problems where the skin would split on my fingers, and would not repair or scab over. The steroids helped, but it would not heal the skin properly, and would split again once i stopped applying it, so it was a vicious circle.

So far i've been taking these suppliments for 6 days, and the skin on my fingers where i've been having problems seems to be scabbing up and healing, so i'm hoping that i've finally found the source of my skin problem.
