Direct infant UV light exposure is associated with eczema and immune development: A Critical Appraisal.

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D supplementation in high-risk infants increased Vitamin D levels but did not reduce eczema. Exploratory post-hoc analyses in a non-randomised subset showed an association between greater direct UV light exposure and reduction of eczema. The authors claim that "our findings indicate that UV light exposure appears more beneficial than vitamin D supplementation as an allergy prevention strategy in early life".
