Zinc deficiency and its management in the pediatric population: a literature review and proposed etiologic classification.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 2013 October
Zinc is a trace element essential to the gastrointestinal, immune, integumentary, reproductive, and central nervous systems. Zinc deficiency is prevalent in many areas of the world and is a diagnostically challenging condition. Cutaneous manifestations typically occur in moderate to severe zinc deficiency and present as alopecia and dermatitis in the perioral, acral, and perineal regions.
