Carbohydrates

 Acemannan (gel applied topically) may alleviate Dermatitis where Dermatitis is caused by Radiation Therapy. 

Complementary Therapies

 Oxygen Therapy is utilized in the treatment of Dermatitis by giving controlled dosages of Hydrogen Peroxide, Ozone and ozone sauna therapy.  

Digestive Juices

 Dermatitis patients are often deficient in Hydrochloric Acid production. 

Enzymes

 Dermatitis patients often exhibit low serum Glutathione Peroxidase levels. 

Hormones

 Atopic Dermatitis patients often exhibit abnormally low endogenous levels of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) - supporting the possibility that DHEA supplements may be beneficial for Dermatitis patients. DHEA should be taken under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. ^[1]

Lipids

 Alkylglycerols 100 mg per day may alleviate many cases of Dermatitis by helping to reduce the excessive proliferation of skin cells that occurs in dermatitis patients and also by enhancing the function of the immune system in a way that benefits dermatitis patients.  ^[2]

 Ceramide 3 applied topically may help to prevent Detergent-induced Dermatitis. 

Microorganisms

 Lactobacillus acidophilus - DDS-1 strain may alleviate Dermatitis (by improving the function of the Digestive System). 

 Lactobacillus rhamnosus may alleviate (atopic) Dermatitis.  ^[3]

Minerals

 Selenium may alleviate Dermatitis by increasing the GlutathionePeroxidase levels that are usually deficient in Dermatitis patients. 

 Many Dermatitis patients are found to require additional Zinc.  ^[4]

Prescribed Medications

 Betamethasone (applied topically) may reduce Inflammation in (contact) Dermatitis patients.
