Hi,
Our skin is the outermost layer of our body and is responsible for protecting us from the environment. It’s also our first line of defense against infection. The health of our skin depends on a number of factors, including diet, sun exposure, age, and genetics.
One important factor in maintaining healthy skin is getting enough vitamins and minerals. A deficiency in any one vitamin or mineral can lead to a variety of skin problems.
Vitamins B2, B6, and zinc are essential vitamins for healthy skin and a deficiency may impair your skin integrity, putting you at risk of a seb derm flare. Niacin, another form of vitamin B6, has also been linked to seb derm.
Obviously, more research is needed to determine if vitamin deficiencies actually trigger Seb Derm. However, if you are finding it difficult to control your Seb derm, it’s worth checking to see if you are vitamin or mineral deficient.
Take a deep dive in this article: What Vitamin Deficiency Causes Seborrheic Dermatitis? I discuss Vitamin D, C, A and B deficiencies and how they can affect Seb derm. I also talk about minerals, like zinc and iron deficiencies and how you may have too much selenium and it’s making your Seb Derm worse.
