Question 1

is there a possibility that a few vitamin e 268mg capsules can cause a priapism if one is taking it for peyronies treatment?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Sometimes it is difficult to know what causes priapism or for that matter peyronie's disease.   My hunch is that something other than Vit E, even at high doses,  is the cause.     Sometimes when we can't figure out a cause it's because there are multiple causes..Priapism warrants as you probably already know immediate medical attention.   Fortunately most ER professionals know what to do.

Question 2

how long should i take the vitamin e tab in peyronies disease? taking the same for last 45 days. now i've no pain in erection but a curved penis. thx

Accepted Answer

Peyronie's: Vitamin E is not very effective for Peyronie's.  There are other medications such as colchicine.  There are other options such as injection therapy, vacuum pump therapy and surgical procedures

Question 3

urologist suspects mild peyronies on left penile shaft on 28 jan.prescribed vitamin e.will this work?.still can get erections during but not at night

Accepted Answer

It can: Much of this disease resolves spontaneously in 50 percent inpatients but Vitamin E is a possible treatment. Time will tell if it is mild. You are doing the right thing by seeing a urologist- make sure he or she is a good one and at an academic center or had completed training in a good hospital.

Question 4

does vitamin e oil help stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Vit E: Topical oils can help reduce stretch marks.

Question 5

will vitamin e oil help get rid of my mongolian spot from my face? if not then is there anything i can put on my face to make it naturally fade away.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely X 2: In the first place it is unlikely a Mongolian patch or spot, which arise along the back of the body. It is likely a cafe-au-lait spot which is more brownish than the bluish of MP. Vitamin E will not reach or in any way alter what goes on in the deep tissue where these originate. Find a cover that you like and use it.A dermatologist could confirm this.

Question 6

can applying vitamin e oil help fight acne and acne scars?

Accepted Answer

Myth but use if help: Many of my patients swear by the benefits of vitamin e and so i generally don't dissuade them but there is very little science to support its use. It is probably the massage, (which we know helps scars)  that is used to apply the vitamin e, which is actually providing the improvements observed. Massage with any clean oil 3-4 times a day. Silicon gel trips are morel likely to improve the scar.

Question 7

will vitamin e oil help get rid of my mongolian spot from my forehead? its little about the size of a nickle , its light.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to matter: I have never heard of a mongolian spot on a forehead or other site on the front of the body. Label aside, there is no reason to believe that anything applied to the top of the skin would change the pigment producing cells a dozen or more layers beneath.A discussion with a procedure oriented dermatologist could give you any options available.

Question 8

will vitamin e oil help get rid of my upper lip shadow? my beauty salon person said it would

Accepted Answer

She's giving you lip: Yeah, sure, if you then cover it with makeup. Vitamin E is used for all kinds of skin conditions but there's very little science behind it. But you also can't discount the experience of the many people who may have benefitted (whether due to the E is questionable). The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database doesn't even list it for topical skin use. Maybe by pill if you can't get it in your food

Question 9

100 mg of minocycline twice a day and tretinoin cream is helping acne but causing extremely dry skin! will topical vitamin e oil help?

Accepted Answer

Acne: The topical tretinoin can dry the skin, so I would suggest using less of it or using a skin moisturizer like eucerin or any glycerin based cream.  Vit E may help but is expensive in comparison.

Question 10

how much is safe of vitamin e oil applied to skin? have a bottle that says 15, 000 iu. when putting on skin, is it absorbed the same as ingesting v.e?

Accepted Answer

Vit e skin: Yes , this is safe and is absorbed well by the skin.
