I been suffering from eczema and always wondered why I was less itchy during sunny days. So did some Googling and found this: Just one benefit of #sunlight for people with skin issues: “Sunlight promotes healing of skin disorders, such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, jaundice and other fungal skin infections. In one study, for example, a four-week outdoor sunbathing therapy was successfully used to significantly clear symptoms of psoriasis in 84% of subjects.”

That's why they blocking the sun on us.. lol also have you tried all natural ingredient soaps and lotions. That might help a little
One of our kids had eczema before we went travelling. Cleared up completely within a few weeks of sun and saltwater and stayed away for years. Returned from traveling recently and it was back within a few weeks. There's a moral there somewhere; packing bags again now. 😂

I didn’t read the article but I wonder if it’s a vitamin D deficiency rather than the sun itself
Good article. I have suffering with psoriasis since I was a teen. I'm trying to heal naturally from within, but sunlight is something I neglect to prioritise. Thanks for sharing
Every year when I travel to Thailand from the UK, my psoriasis cleans up 90% within four weeks of 30 degrees c. I'd say I eat worse there too as nothing is organic, beef is lower on the agenda to what's on offer locally and the pollution is horrendous I'm comparison to the UK. #sunlight fixes a lot of things.
Thanks for sharing. Yeh I am just surprised how effective it is as treatment according to that mat study. You will never hear a doctor tell a patient spend more time outside.
Haha my wife is constantly on at me to apply some. I have to pretend! It backfires on those rare occasions I get burned though
