0:00 Introduction: Dermatitis
0:38 Types of dermatitis
1:42 How dermatitis is typically treated
2:38 The best natural remedy for dermatitis
4:35 Vitamin D benefits
In this video, we’re going to talk about dermatitis. Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin, and there are many different types.
At their core, skin problems are either related to an allergy or an immune reaction. You can consider many cases of dermatitis as an over-reactive immune system.
Topical and oral steroids are the most common treatments of dermatitis. They work by suppressing the immune system. Antibiotics are also commonly used to treat cases of dermatitis but often lead to a secondary infection.
The superficial layer of your skin contains a multitude of microbes and acts as a barrier for your lymphatic tissue and blood vessels. These tissues are full of immune cells ready to protect you against foreign invaders.
Dermatitis seems to respond positively to vitamin D. For example, vitamin D works to mitigate symptoms of contact dermatitis by lowering the histamine response. Vitamin D is the main regulator of the immune system.
Skin conditions are typically worse in the winter when we get less vitamin D. They are also worse when a person is under stress. When you raise cortisol levels from stress, you deplete vitamin D.
Vitamin D can decrease acne by shrinking and normalizing the sebaceous glands. This can help regulate the overproduction of oil, decreasing acne breakouts. Seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp is also known as dandruff. Vitamin D cream can help reduce dandruff.
Eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, and alopecia are all related to vitamin D deficiency. Microbes involved in certain skin issues can reduce the vitamin D receptors in your skin, allowing them to survive.

what i have found out is , it is not the sugar it self but the sugar and carbs mixed with proteins and fats.. i had same issue years back and i went all fruit and carbs and i cut out the fats and proteins . great results . a few years later i was eating normal again and flare ups returned so it was winter time and i didn't have access to good fruits so i went carnivore. or keto. low carb veggies like broccoli and others all the fat and butter i wanted but didn't eat breads pasta potatoes . or carbs or sugar. gone , even in coffee i used stevia. i later found out that my body couldnt handle all the fats and sugar in the blood stream. this is also why diabetics can go off meds when eating a stricked fruit and carb lifestyle. they also can do the same if they give up carbs and fruits and go all fats and proteins. like steak seafood all the fat that comes on the steak . eat it too. ,, if you ever wanna try either diets out just try it. i do both. summer time when fruit is good i go high carb vegan. winter i go carnivore .. cheers! ps when switching over you have to give it time to work. let me know how it goes for you. oh and yes if i get in the sun that works also. cheers again :D

In the UK, the doctors never bothered too much to investigate my daughter's skin condition deeply. We always heard that it was an allergy, which, according to them, is quite simple and normal for her age. She has always suffered, and after an exhaustive pursuit of any doctor who could give her a proper diagnosis, we now understand the whole picture much better. However, in order to help her live a normal life, as parents, we have to continue researching on our own.

True. I felt so good taking vit d3 that I started upping my dose to 10,000 iu without the other co factors aside from k2. Big mistake I started to felt so so bad again with more anxiety. I added magnesium and I’m starting to feel better.

@cuteblue2212 For context, I was only prescribed 800iu daily D3, and I live 59degrees North with very little sunshine. I also have seborrhoeic dermatitis (almost constant for 30 years).

Light bulb moment when talking about winter. I used to think that it was the cold and dry winds causing skin problems but I never knew why it didn't happen in summer with the hot and dry winds. I started taking Vitamin D just before winter last year and I never had any itching and never got sick either, even though people all around me were sick (some more than once) with bad coughs and colds. My Vitamin D level went from 40 before taking Vitamin D to 244 when I tested in March. I take 10,000iu daily with about 150mcg of K2, unless I get a nice sunny day in April to September where I can get over an hour of good exposure, then I don't take any for that day.

A "therapeutic dose" of vitamin D is 50,000 IU. This is the dose prescribed when you're diagnosed as Vitamin D deficient. A single pill. Your body uses it in so many places it'll be soaked right up.

20-40% of Northern Europeans and also other people across the world have a mutation of the Filaggrin gene that causes a decrease in the production of the Filaggrin protein essential to the keratinocyte layer of the epithelium the outer mist skin layer. This allows an increase in length of small sensory neurons called nociceptors. On these nerve fibers TRPA1 and TRPV1 are up-regulated and are highly responsive to stimuli from food agonists such as red and black pepper, mustard oil, garlic, cinnamon, low pH, environmental agents, malathion etc. Vitamin D is a partial agonist of TRPV1 and likely the other TRP channels too. As a partial agonist D blocks complete agonists. This keeps the TRP stimulation of inflammatory neuropeptides CGRP and SP down. The loss-of-function null mutation of the FLG gene also causes an increase in the neurotrophin artemin down that stimulates the receptor GRPa3 that stimulates other neurons and tissues in other responses such as nicotinic acetylcholine and muscle cramps etc. all part of small fiber neuropathy syndrome where you will find a loss of epidermal nerve fibers as they burn out from too much stimulation.

Dr.Berg, you're a GEM & real Jewel, thanks so much for all those great videos that you provide every single day for us, I so much appreciate all your hard and very helpful work. Even this single video answers so many questions that dermatologists don't know, simply I ask them what's the reason... and they have no answer...thanks again and all the best to you ❤!!!!!

I developed scalp psoriasis in my early teens. Had it on and off throughout my life (I’m about 30 now) but it was always manageable. Was always there but never noticeable. Recently, around 3 months ago - I had a highly stressful event in my life - it flared up with a vengeance. It started creeping below my hairline and over my forehead. It was now also in my eyebrows and side of my head - 2 places it had never been before. Well fast forward to now, for the past month I’ve been focusing on to let go of all stress (I’ve been working on positive thoughts and mental health). I cut out all junk food (was binging again since I was in a bad place, mentally) well recently I’ve felt better than I have for years. And what do you know, my psoriasis has almost gone. Like completely gone. It’s not on my forehead, eyebrows, side of head at all (save for a VERY light pink hue thats almost gone) and the scalp is almost clear completely. Like.. a normal scalp. Its only been this clear a handful of times in the 15+ years I’ve had it. Make of that what you will. Hope it helps someone. Oh sorry, forgot to add one of the most important parts - I’ve been getting in the sun a lot more (since it’s finally almost summer where I live). I believe this has played a huge part - trying to get about an hour of direct sunlight on my skin a day.

[@letuswrap]

Yay😊 and ya I agree...getting direct sunlight is key

Hey Dr. Berg I have asthma, eczema and dermatitis, I just ordered your vitamin D3, B1, gallbladder formula, and magnesium. I also have high blood pressure, so thank you for your informative video and affordable larger quantity products. Hopefully my ailments will improve.😊

I had oral lichen planus in my early 40's. I thought that it was caused by my pot habit. After I STOPPED.. it disappeared and this was long before I learned of the "Dr Berg" podcast..

[@lorigayle4959]

Red light therapy at a dermatologist got rid of my eczema after the third week but continued for the remaining 7 sessions. Never came back

[@nancytaliaferro9650]

I bought my own inexpensive infrared light bulb on Amazon. Plugged it in , put in on my skin 10 minutes a day and healed my eczema that I've had for over 50 years. Use it 4 to 6 days per week. Move the light around where there are problem areas, heals it up!

[@mekman4]

Thank you and good morning!

[@rickypasion8668]

Good Day Dr. Berg!!..How many mg do you recommend per day ? TIA.. from Manila, Philippines here..

[@jamiereife5581]

This is probably way off topic, but when my husband had shingles, I was surprised at what a skin condition it is. The next time he has a flair up, which for him was triggered by stress from his mother’s death, I am going to get him to take doses of vitamin D.

[@irfanas7163]

Thank you for the beneficial video doc. Please consider removing the background music, it is anxiety inducing especially because of the graphics and the fast pace of the content delivery.

[@jodipokorski4354]

What background music?

[@puggirl415]

@@jodipokorski4354 I had to turn up my sound to almost full volume and then you could hear the music. It was kind of a frenetic electronic music. He could leave music like that out. It serves no purpose and if people can hear it and are bothered by it why not get rid of it?

[@puggirl415]

I had to turn my computer way up to hear it and I agree it's not the best choice. I couldn't hear it with the volume turned down though.

[@susanpettit8529]

Love your videos! I have dermatitis and I take vitamin D3 however, it is still lurking around, what dose would you recommend if I want to increase it?

[@MontauMediaLLC]

This explains it all for me. Thanks Dr. B 😊.

[@Drberg]

Anytime!

[@KetinaSolari]

Skin diseases are very connected to psychosomatic problemas,specially mental stress. Omega 7 and vit B1 are also very good for treating skin problems together with relaxation therapies like breathing and meditation.

I had terrible acne growing up all the way to my 30s. I always had an idea it was gluten because my back would hurt really bad after heavy gluten days. As soon as I went gluten free my skin cleared up and back got better. Anytime I accidentally eat gluten huge pimple grows instantly., I should make a KZbin of it. Wish I knew this in highschool….

[@bobbarker5884]

Thank you Dr!!! You're the best!!

[@jennifermitchell9282]

You may have just solved the mystery! Thank YOU! I would love to know what a good brand is, I don’t always absorb! Would love if you could suggest! Thank you

[@becurious2000]

I have eczema. Some interesting things with me…. My vitamin d levels were too high actually and I still had eczema. Mine is worse in the summer and better in the winter. Stress does make it worse. What helped was when I moved out of the US. I think I was allergic to a lot of stuff in the air food and water in Texas and the weather was too hot. I live in Sweden and it is much better now though not completely cured.

[@vampireforever6937]

Do you have sixth sense ? Or telepathy skill? Hehe my mom has severe itching and today her blood result shows vitamin D deficency... HOW YOU UNDESTAND OUR PROBLEMS ... UR BECOMING A GODMAN FOR US 😅... BLESS US MORE WITH MORE VIDEOS ❤

I wish I knew this earlier in life!!!!!! Better late than never, I suppose. Thank you for sharing.

No worries!

[@raavaassatu]

Thank you! Any recs for how many IU per day for these conditions?

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

A friend was developing a ferocious, spreading dermatitis. A doctor thought perhaps yeast and a drug reaction but it was accelerating. Talking to someone else, they suggested parasites and the toxins from parasites. Within three days of starting to address that, the pattern reversed. She now has physical scars but it was a correct answer, the doctor said she never thought of, or knew of.

[@kathym5337]

How did they address the parasites?

[@notursavior1861]

So it was parasites? What kind? And how did they treat it?

[@celinesadananda1256]

What parasite..?

Topical application of vitamin E oil can help reduce scarring.
