i did a little research on vitamin a dificiency and it seems to be if not a cause then a trigger to a lot of skin problems. however, taking vitamin a does not necessarily eliminate the deficiency. i know this b/c i was taking a vit. a/b combo and nothing was happening. then after doing some reading about eczema (which i also have- oh joy), omega 3 fatty acids (found in cod liver oil supplements) help the body absorb vit a. this has worked for me and has offset a lot of the uncomfortable dry skin associated with not only my eczema, but also on my arms and legs (KP).
