However, if i had stood in strong sunlight for 10 mins i doubt it would have done much at all. reading bits on the web it seems vit d can help to regulate 'T' cells [which is what ciclosporin does as well, ] and also vit d raises the levels of something called 'Cathelicidin' which you need in the skin to fight bacteria. On wiki it says "Vitamin D up-regulates genetic expression of cathelicidin, which exhibits broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses." my skin was red, dry, itchy and oozing, now its all cleared up. I don't think the vit D works instantly so people assume its not doing anything, and after years of using steroids and protopic etc.. i was extremely sceptical when i was applying it thinking i was wasting my time. I know some things only work for some people and it can be soul destroying to try all these different medicines and creams and they do nothing or worse damage the skin further, but i definitely think more people with eczema or dermatitis should give vit d ointment a go. It would be interesting if you were able to give it a try and it worked for you, everybody would be able to see the results.

Skin needs time to heal on its own with nothing but lukewarm water, a shower per day. In the early days I had a hot shower to cauterize the wounds. Moisturizers (any moisturizer) clogs the pores and your skin can't breathe. Best to leave it dry for many months until it heals itself, healing and strengthening the skin barrier.
