    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Nutritional Science
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Acquired zinc deficiency is a rare condition.
    • It can occur after significant gastrointestinal surgery or total parenteral nutrition.
    • Understanding its clinical presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with acquired zinc deficiency.
    • Symptoms included diffuse hair loss and a psoriasis-like dermatitis.
    • Lesions were primarily located on extremities and around orifices.

    Findings:

    • Oral zinc sulfate supplementation rapidly resolved the skin lesions and hair loss.
    • The deficiency was linked to extensive bowel resection, total pancreatectomy, and total parenteral nutrition.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of monitoring zinc levels in at-risk patients.
    • Demonstrates the efficacy of oral zinc therapy for correcting acquired deficiency.
    • Emphasizes the link between gastrointestinal function, nutrition, and dermatological health.
