What vitamins are good for lichen sclerosus?
No vitamin or supplement has been proven to treat or cure lichen sclerosus, but maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D, E, and A supports general skin and immune health.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Some women with autoimmune skin conditions have low vitamin D, but supplementation should be guided by blood tests and GP advice. Vitamin E and A may help skin barrier function, but evidence in lichen sclerosus is lacking. Avoid high-dose supplements unless recommended by a clinician. See NHS vitamins & minerals.
Clinical Context

Evidence-Based Approaches
