    Glossary Topical Vitamin D

    applied skin treatment to regulate cell growth and inflammation

    Topical Vitamin D refers to a form of Vitamin D that is applied directly to the skin, often in the form of a cream or ointment. It is commonly used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema by helping to regulate skin cell growth and reduce inflammation. In the context of hair and alopecia, topical Vitamin D may be used to promote hair growth and improve scalp health, as Vitamin D plays a role in the hair follicle cycle.
