We investigated the relationship between zinc deficiency and eczema in a 3-month-old infant who was exclusively breastfed. The infant presented with symptoms like scaling erythematous dermatitis affecting her face and other areas, alongside irritability and poor weight gain. Her mother had been taking isoniazid for tuberculosis during pregnancy, which possibly contributed to the infant’s zinc deficiency.
After initial treatments for a suspected skin infection didn’t bring any changes, we found that the baby had low serum zinc levels and low zinc concentration in her breast milk. This led us to believe the skin condition was due to zinc deficiency rather than an infection. We started zinc supplementation, and the infant showed remarkable improvement in her skin condition and weight.
By 6 months, the infant had begun eating solid food, and we stopped the zinc supplements, with no signs of eczema returning. This case underscores the importance of monitoring zinc levels in breastfed infants, especially when mothers are on specific medications that might impact nutrient transfer through breast milk.

We explored how zinc affects acne through a systematic review and meta-analysis that looked at two main questions. First, we wanted to know if there are differences in zinc levels between people with acne and those without. Second, we examined how effective zinc treatments are for managing acne.
Our findings showed that individuals with acne had noticeably lower serum zinc levels compared to those in the control group. Furthermore, when we looked at treatments, those who received zinc showed a significant reduction in their inflammatory papule count—a common symptom of acne. Importantly, we noted that side effects from zinc supplementation were similar to those seen in other treatments, suggesting that zinc is safe to use.
Overall, acne patients appear to benefit from improved zinc levels, especially when zinc is used either on its own or alongside other acne treatments. This gives hope for those looking for effective ways to tackle acne issues!

Helps with rosacea

This has been great for my rosacea, particularly with the acne-prone variety. I incorporate zinc into my current sunblock, which already contains 20% zinc, and it helps tremendously with redness without causing breakouts. The combination works effectively without feeling gritty or chalky.
