Your Dovobet includes a vitamin D analogue, which doesn't count towards your requirement, but I reckon that putting the vitamin into your system rather than on the surface has got to help. Most people in the UK are vitamin D deficient 'cos of our limited sunshine. Apparently, D regulates the production of keratocytes which are involved in psoriasis plaque formation. I started by taking 1200iu per day for a week to top up the tanks and then reduced this to 800iu (normal requirement) daily. Results were felt by the end of the first week. Plaques reduced in number and size and, above all, the itch from hell was banished. I've had a few months of relative peace and will continue the vitamin D. This supplementation is a good idea even if you don't have psoriasis as no-one gets enough (usually).I have never tried vitamin D3 for my psoriasis, what strength do you take and how long was it before you saw any kind of results?
My main treatment is Dovobet ointment but it's no good for your head if you have hair, thankfully I don't as I have always loved being bald.
I put it down to my mum making me grow up with Yul Brynner and Telly Savalas lmao
On a serious note I am keen to try new things to keep the flare ups under control.
The wife and I both enjoy Allepo soap as it doesn't seem to dry the skin, although she wants me to try the scented ones next.
Please remember, I'm not a doctor and also, although vitamin D is not terribly toxic you should not overdose.
I hope it helps.
