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.

Reduced rashes

After two weeks of use, my skin markedly improved, particularly on my hands. A prolonged intake of omega has lifted my mood, enhanced my digestive health, and significantly reduced rashes. My blood pressure normalised, and the rashes stopped, except on occasions of indulging in fast food or sugary treats. Maintaining a normal lifestyle, alongside vitamins, can yield perfect results. This omega from Nordic is my top choice; I highly recommend it!

Rash problem gone
Superb! A friend recommended this brand. I suffered from recurring rashes for years, causing many sleepless nights due to itching. After discovering that omega-3 is beneficial for skin, I decided to give it a try. The results are remarkable; after a few months of taking this supplement, my rash problem has vanished and my overall health has improved. I definitely recommend it to everyone!

Improved dry skin

Best Omega-3s I've been taking these for years. The eye strain headaches I used to suffer from are no more, and my dry skin rashes have greatly improved. My eye doctor even remarked that my eyes are well lubricated for my age (60 years). If I had to choose only one supplement, this would be it (though Cherry Extract capsules are a close second).
