What does zinc deficiency rash look like?
The typical dermatologic findings of zinc deficiency are dry, scaly, sharply demarcated, red, eczematous patches on the face (periorificial) and anogenital area, which can become vesicular, pustular or desquamative. On the extensor surfaces of the arms and legs, psoriasiform plaques are typical.
