I had suffered dry skin and rashes problem for years. And ever since I moved to a colder country, the dry problem worsened in the cold months while horrible rashes would develop easier in the warmer months. I never had dandruff before when suddenly I started to have dandruff problems as well.
I’ve tried so many types of creams but nothing really helped, I really thought I had eczema. One day I came upon an article regarding zinc deficiency. Below is a list of symptoms one may have if they he/she is zinc deficient:
• behavioral and sleep disturbances
• dandruff
• delay in wound healing
• diarrhea
• different kinds of skin lesions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne
• growth retardation
• hair loss
• hang nails
• hyperactivity
• increased allergic sensitivity
• inflammation of your nail cuticles
• inflammatory bowel disease
• loss of appetite
• loss of senses of taste or smell
• loss of sex drive
• mild anemia
• pre-eclampsia (toxaemia) in pregnancy and post-natal depression
• pre-menstrual syndrome, disturbance in your menstrual cycle
• reduced fertility
• skin dryness and rashes
• white spots on fingernails, transverse lines and poor nail growth
So I went and bought myself a bottle of zinc supplement. To my amazement, the skin driness simply lessened in a matter of days. I was extremely happy.
There fore if you have dry skin or rashes you may want to ask your doctor regarding zinc deficiency. Who knows, that it may be the cause.
