Abstract

Zinc is an essential component of various important enzymes in our body and its deficiency causes multi-enzyme defects and multisystemic disease. It ranks with biotin as a truly essential element in both cutaneous health and disease. Zinc deficiency may explain alopecia, ulcers, infections and a host of strange unexplainable skin changes.
