Promising results for fish oil
We investigated the impact of dietary fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, on hydroa vacciniforme, a challenging photosensitivity disorder. Three boys with the condition took five capsules of MaxEPA daily for three months. During follow-up tests, we observed that all boys had lower sensitivity to UVA light, indicating a positive response to the treatment.
While one child demonstrated a significant improvement, another showed mild progress, and the third did not improve but later responded well to another medication. Overall, fish oil may reduce UV sensitivity and improve rash outcomes for some patients.

We explored how a parenteral fish oil emulsion can help treat essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) in a soy-allergic teen who had gastrointestinal issues after a bone marrow transplant. Initially, he showed a rash and an unbalanced plasma ratio indicating EFAD due to fat-free nutrition.
After starting the fish oil treatment, his rash disappeared within 10 days, and his plasma levels improved significantly. This result highlights that fish oil can be a safe fat source for patients who can't use traditional lipid emulsions, effectively treating the rash linked to EFAD.

We investigated whether maternal supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can impact infant health outcomes. Through a rigorous double-blind study in Mexico, pregnant women took 400 mg of DHA or a placebo.
We found that while DHA helped reduce the duration of illnesses like cough and fever in infants, it did lead to a 22% longer duration of rash at one month old. While DHA showed benefits in other areas, its impact on rash was notably negative.

Excellent! The capsules are large yet easy to swallow. The EPA/DHA ratio of 1400 is quite good. I regularly drink this supplement, as switching to fish is unrealistic given that fatty sea fish is available only 3-4 times a week. After a break, rashes appeared on my face, but once I resumed taking them, everything cleared up.

An excellent omega-3 for those seeking improved skin. After taking this omega, my skin became more elastic with fewer rashes and breakouts. The only downside is that the capsules are quite large and not always easy to swallow.

Omega-3 is vital for female health, enhancing skin, nails, hair, and alleviating PMS. Since I dislike fatty fish, my body was lacking essential nutrients. This encapsulated form from a reputable brand is convenient. With regular use, my skin appears well-hydrated, and the Omega-3 has notably decreased the number of rashes, especially in problem areas. However, I still maintain a good daily water intake for optimal benefits.
