Fish oils = miracle cure?!

External Since: Sep 05, 2003 Posts: 16

Hi all,

Ok so B5 stopped working for me, I couldn't take anymore than 5g a day
without getting stomach pain/uncomfortable feeling, but that fairly small
dose almost cleared my acne for a month, then just suddenly stopped working.

So for no particular reason I started taking fish oil capsules, one a day.
From day 2 my skin improved now for the last 3 weeks it's looked as good as
it did while on accutane, but not dry.

Is it likely that the fish oil really is doing this or has accutane just
caused my skin to have regular clear periods the have just coincided with
new treatments??

Any opinons welcomed!

Thanks

AnonRD.

Have you read the articles about efa's and fish/flax oils and acne? How
they fight inflammation etc..?
I forget all the details, but there is a bit of connection that shows
fish and flax oils help with acne, so it is very possible that the fish
oil caps are what is doing the trick!
