   Hi Karla,

   I tried cod liver oil topically and for the first week it seemed okay, but
   then after that my skin started to turn beet red and eventually look like my
   skin was kinda burned. Not sure what happened there, but I haven’t done
   that since. I only used it on my face. But for the record, I seem to
   react like that to most things–i.e. first week or two seems good, then
   thereafter I’m itching and turning red and puffy. I’ve tried things like
   coconut oil and olive oil as well with the same results. So far the best
   thing that has worked for me is Dead Sea salt. That has definitely put all
   my itching under control. More recently I’ve been experimenting with
   soaking in a warm tub and some goat yogurt. I’ve heard of those milk baths,
   and thought that maybe the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt might help my
   skin since the skin also needs to have protective bacteria which we eczema
   sufferers probably lose a lot of from all the itching, peeling, and flaking.
   
   So far I find that the yogurt baths have helped to moisturize my skin.

   Hello:

   I have a friend who swears by cod liver oil for itching. Has anyone
   had luck with that? She says to apply it directly to the skin or
   take it internally.

   Hi Karla:

   I get my yogurt at Whole Foods Market. I suppose any health foods store
   might carry some. I’ve been using the Skyhill Napa Valley plain goat yogurt

   Hmm. That’s interesting. I wonder why then my itching has greatly
   diminished after using the Dead Sea salts? I have been eating plenty of
   fresh fruits. I haven’t had any bleeding or bruising problems lately. What
   other signs are there of vitamin C deficiency? I know there are literally
   tons of reasons for itchiness other than vit C deficiency. But thanks for
   the heads up.

   Thanks,
