10 Vitamin Deficiency Symptoms

Symptom #7: Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition that is quite similar to dandruff. It is caused by a type of yeast that feeds on the oils on the skin. It can lead to red, inflamed skin and can affect the face, groin, armpits, and chest. There are various potential causes and a vitamin deficiency is one of them.
As with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis can be caused by a deficiency of B vitamins and certain minerals. Fortunately, these vitamins and minerals are fairly common so it should not be difficult for us to replace them, although supplements are available if needed. Patients with seborrheic dermatitis can also try using washes such as Selsun to ease the symptoms.
