My symptoms first started when I was a teenager, and they took a real toll on my self-confidence. I became very self-conscious about my appearance and would often avoid social gatherings and even having my picture taken. Eventually, I saw a dermatologist who prescribed steroid creams for the dermatitis on my face. I regret ever starting them. They were essentially a short-term Band-Aid rather than a solution, and in the long run, I feel they caused more problems than they helped.
Over time, my skin seemed to become dependent on the steroids. I developed a tolerance, and whenever I tried to stop using them, I would experience horrible flare-ups. It took me many, many years to gradually wean myself off the steroids. Even then, the dermatitis never truly went away. I simply learned how to manage it as best I could.
The most challenging times were always during the summer and winter months. Extreme weather and temperature changes seemed to trigger flare-ups of both my dandruff and dermatitis, especially around my nose and hairline. It also made wearing makeup difficult because of the dryness, redness, and flaking.
Fast-forward to a week and a half ago. I was experiencing another flare-up due to the changing weather, so I came back to this site hoping to find a natural remedy. That's when I came across information about Vitamin D3 and decided to give it a try.
I noticed a difference almost immediately! After just the first day, the dermatitis around my nose didn't seem to be getting worse and actually looked a little less dry and red. With each passing day, I continued to see improvements in both the dandruff on my scalp and the dermatitis on my face.
At this point, my dermatitis has almost completely cleared up! I have just a little pinkness remaining around my nose, but my skin feels incredibly soft, with no dry or flaky patches. I was actually able to wear a full face of makeup this past weekend for a Halloween party without worrying about my skin flaking or having a reaction. That may seem like a small thing to some people, but after dealing with these issues for decades, it's HUGE for me!
I'm honestly beyond happy and grateful to have found something that is making such a difference. I only wish I had come across it years ago!
For anyone wondering, I've been taking one 50 mcg (2,000 IU) Vitamin D3 gel cap each morning. Of course, everyone's experience may be different, but I wanted to share mine in the hope that it might help someone else who has been struggling with these same frustrating conditions. Best of luck!
