8 Vitamin Deficiencies That Show Up On Your Skin And Foods To Prevent Them

Show Description

Title: 8 Vitamin Deficiencies That Show Up On Your Skin And Foods To Prevent Them.
Most vitamin deficiencies also show up on the skin. While a lack of vitamin A can cause scaly, dry skin, lack of B6 leads to skin ulcers, and lack of B7 can cause eczema. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause vitiligo. Both C and E are antioxidants and their deficiency causes premature skin aging, wrinkles, and dryness. Lack of D causes psoriasis..
1)Skin Dryness – Vitamin A Deficiency: You may use retinol-based prescription skin creams to relieve the dryness. But the deficiency needs to be addressed with adequate dietary vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps in the formation and maintenance of healthy skin as well as teeth, skeletal tissue, mucous membranes, and soft tissue..
2)Skin Rashes – Vitamin B2 Deficiency: Riboflavin is involved in the production of energy from food and plays a part in keeping your skin and vision healthy. A deficiency of this vitamin can cause redness and cracks in the corner of your mouth and your tongue as well as a skin rash..
3)Eczema – Vitamin B3 Deficiency: Niacin deficiency causes a condition known as pellagra which is characterized mainly by the symptoms of dermatitis (eczema), dementia, and diarrhea..
4)Skin Ulcers – Vitamin B6 Deficiency: Vitamin B6 is another nutrient that’s important for the health of your skin. If you don’t get enough of this vitamin, you might experience symptoms like rashes that itch, flaking skin on your lips, and ulcers in the corner of your mouth..
5)Scaly Dermatitis – Vitamin B7 (Biotin) Deficiency: Biotin plays an important role in the metabolism of energy, glycogen synthesis, fat synthesis, and amino acid metabolism. It’s rare to be deficient in this vitamin since it’s widely found in foods. However, certain habits like the consumption of raw egg whites, which contain a protein that inhibits the absorption of biotin, may lead to a deficiency..
6)Yellow Skin And Vitiligo – Vitamin B12 Deficiency: A deficiency can cause symptoms like fatigue, vision loss, loss of appetite, and shortness of breath. People who lack vitamin B12 can also develop pernicious anemia, a condition where the body cannot absorb B12 from foods and is unable to make a sufficient quantity of healthy red blood cells..
7)Scurvy – Vitamin C Deficiency: Vitamin C is important for the health of your skin as it has antioxidant properties. It also plays a critical part in the synthesis of collagen, the protein that gives structure and support to your skin..
8)Psoriasis – Vitamin D Deficiency: You might already know that low levels of vitamin D can affect your bone health and cause osteoporosis. But did you know that vitamin D deficiency could be a contributory factor in psoriasis? In fact, it has been found that the topical application of vitamin D preparations on the patches of flaky, irritated skin that characterize this skin disorder can improve the condition..
