Abstract

Micronutrients play a crucial role in maintaining the skin health, one of the most complex and largest organs in the human body. Skin health can be influenced by proper nutritional intake including vitamins and minerals. Despite their requirement in small quantities, micronutrients are fundamental to maintain structural integrity and function of the skin. Micronutrient deficiencies are precursor to various dermatological conditions such as xerosis and other skin diseases. Dermatologists are key in identifying and handling these nutrition-related problems. As awareness towards the importance of nutrition for skin health grows, understanding the role of micronutrients has become increasingly relevant in modern dermatology. This review aims to thoroughly examine the roles and implications of micronutrients in dermatological conditions arising from deficiencies.
