Research reveals that individuals with psoriasis often have lower vitamin D levels, which can worsen the inflammatory processes associated with this condition.
Psoriatic skin also has an abnormal calcium gradient. Of course, calcium is regulated by vitamin D.
Also, most people with psoriasis benefit significantly from sun exposure, about 10% of psoriatic patients experience a significant worsening of psoriasis with sun exposure. For those that benefit from the sun, a beach vacation is in order, as the salt water and salty air also significantly benefit psoriasis, with reports of near complete clearing of the skin that last as long as 6 months.
