Symptom 15. Skin Issues
Skin issues, such as dryness, itching, and eczema, can be another symptom of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D plays a role in skin health by helping to regulate the skin’s natural barrier function and supporting the immune system. When there is a deficiency in this essential nutrient, the skin can become dry, irritated, and more prone to inflammation.
Individuals with low vitamin D levels may experience skin issues such as dryness, itching, and eczema, which can be uncomfortable and impact their overall well-being. Research has shown that supplementing with vitamin D can help improve skin health and reduce the severity of eczema in those with low levels.
To maintain healthy skin and reduce the risk of skin issues, it is essential to ensure sufficient vitamin D intake through sunlight exposure, diet, and supplements if necessary. Additionally, adopting a healthy skincare routine and using gentle, fragrance-free products can further contribute to optimal skin health.
