Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Skin Rashes
Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy skin appearance. The vitamin does this by promoting the production of collagen; a type of protein which is found in large amounts in the skin. Collagen contributes to the structure and appearance of the skin and enables the skin to perform its numerous functions.
The skin rashes, which are usually red in appearance, can be quite itchy and occur often around the face, neck, or on the scalp. The skin rashes occurring due to deficiency in vitamin B6 are referred to medically as seborrheic dermatitis and usually resolve once you supplement with food rich in vitamin B6.
