A Simple Vitamin Could Help People with Itchy Skin
Scientists discovered that a type of B vitamin might help calm down a common skin rash.
Have you ever had an itchy bug bite? Some people have a skin condition called psoriasis that makes their skin red, scaly, and itchy. It usually shows up on places like elbows and knees. Right now, doctors do not have a cure for it.
Scientists have been looking for new ways to help. They tested a special form of vitamin B to see what would happen. In their tests, the vitamin helped calm down the rash and made the skin feel much better.
Vitamins are natural nutrients that help our bodies grow and stay healthy. We usually get them from eating foods like fruits, vegetables, and milk. Scientists will keep testing this vitamin to make sure it is safe and works well for everyone.
