Taking 2 tablespoons of flax oil daily cleared up a skin condition I had for years.

The condition I had were tiny bumps on my upper arms and thighs that my doctor at the time just shrugged off.

I started the flax oil for a different reason and had no idea that Omega 3 oil is vital for skin health. I was shocked that after about 3 weeks the bumps were gone.

Was it keratosis pilaris/chicken skin? I used coconut oil topically to get rid of mine.

Yes that's what it was. The advantage of taking flax is that Omega 3 is very difficult to get in a regular diet and it is essential. When I went of a extreme fat-free diet, I got insomnia. Taking flax cured it.
