Does B12 cream improve eczema?
Answered by admin
Question:
I’ve read that B12 cream can be very beneficial in helping eczema. Is there any truth to this?
Answer:
There are a variety of creams and approaches that can improve eczema. A vitamin B12 cream tested in a small study in Germany proved effective in reducing the extent and severity of eczema. Only 49 patients were treated. They each used the B12 cream on one side of the body and a placebo on the other. They did not t know which was which. The research team and patients concluded after eight weeks that the Vitamin B12 cream was “good” or “very good,” at improving the symptoms, while the placebo was rated as “moderate” or “poor” in 87 percent to 89 percent of all cases. We have tried this approach on some patients, but have not been impressed with the results.
