reduce the risk of psoriasis<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nResearchers also found that UVB light therapy may be effective at reducing symptoms of psoriasis. UVB light therapy mimics the sun\u2019s UVB rays, which trigger vitamin D production in the skin. Currently, however, there is not enough evidence that proves that light therapy alone is responsible for improving the condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Topical Vitamin D For Psoriasis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Topical vitamin D therapy proves to be a popular method for people with localized plaque psoriasis. It\u2019s a common first line of defense that has proven efficacy and safety. Certain areas of the body are sensitive to steroid creams, but topical vitamin D ointments are much gentler on those areas. Topical vitamin D therapy doesn\u2019t exhibit the same adverse effects as corticosteroids. One meta analysis found that topical vitamin D therapies were comparable to corticosteroids. Additionally, they exhibited superior effects when combined with a potent topical steroid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Get More Vitamin D<\/h2>\n\n\n\n There are several ways to increase vitamin D levels in the body. The easiest way is to expose the skin to direct sunlight, which consists of both UVA and UVB rays. UVA exposure can increase the risk of skin cancer, so psoriatic patients should consult a doctor to see how much sun exposure is necessary. Vitamin D supplements are also beneficial ways to raise vitamin D levels. According to the Institute of Medicine, an upper limit of 4,000 IU per day may prevent psoriatic side effects. Lastly, there are are some food sources of vitamin D, but try to steer clear of fortified foods. It\u2019s best to focus on more natural foods that contain vitamin D. <\/p>\n
