Vitamin pills are support treatment in dry skin which we call atopic dermatitis. This is a kind of eczema which needs to be treated in the acute stage and later can be maintained to prevent recurrence using moisturizer. Vitamin pills donot have curative value but we do prescribe it for atopic eczema. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
