Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Neither Vit D deficiency can cause skin rash, nor its intake can decrease rash.
However application of Vit D analogues like calcipotriol can be beneficial in certain conditions like psoriasis.
These are prescription drugs and cannot be used as such.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
