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.

The best. I am 27 years old. I started taking Omega 3 on the advice of a beautician alongside vitamin D3 due to skin and hair issues. After just one jar, the results are evident. My hair has stopped falling out, and my skin is hydrated; the rashes on my face have disappeared. I really like this Omega 3 as it contains natural lemon oil, which is good for the stomach. The dosage of Omega is 1000 mg, which is excellent. I've ordered it twice already, and while I've tried Omega 3 from another company, I will definitely reorder from this one.

THE BEST FISH OIL! For more than a year, I have been testing fish oils from various manufacturers. I couldn't understand why I had persistent purulent spots on my face. After switching to this oil, my FACE CLEARED!!! I refuse to change this product. It’s baffling why others (even the pricier ones with Dr. Murray) caused awful rashes, but this product, possibly due to the LEMON OIL, has worked wonders. Best of luck!

Facial acne appeared
No Fish Taste! I take it in the morning, and it doesn't leave an unpleasant aftertaste. My skin and hair conditions are better overall. However, I changed my review to three stars after noticing that I developed rashes on my face (subcutaneous acne) a few days into taking it. They persist as long as I'm taking it but clear up a week after stopping. I initially thought I had a bacterial infection but realized it was the supplement. Other omega-3s didn't cause this issue; I believe the omega-6 content might be higher than stated.

Dermatitis worsening
Unwanted exacerbation of dermatitis. I took omega-3, two capsules daily, chiefly after meals. I expected a positive effect on my skin as I have atopic dermatitis with rashes. However, after two weeks, my condition worsened, with red spots appearing. I suspected the omega-3 was to blame and stopped consuming it. After discontinuing, my skin improved within two days and the dermatitis spots practically disappeared. Unfortunately, this lemon omega didn't help me; it worsened my dermatitis.
