Patient's question:
White two pieces, black two pieces, dry. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello, there are white two pieces and black two pieces on your face, dry. Is it a zinc deficiency? If not, please prove the condition. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
(1) Anorexia. When zinc deficiency occurs, the function of taste buds diminishes, leading to reduced taste sensitivity, loss of appetite, increased bowel movements, and weakened absorption capacity.(2) Poor growth and development. Zinc deficiency hinders protein synthesis and causes increased bowel movements, interfering with children's growth and development. In severe cases, it may result in dwarfism. Severe zinc deficiency in children can disrupt intellectual development, even leading to mental disorders.
(3) Delayed sexual development during puberty. Specific manifestations include: reduced size of male reproductive organs (testicles and penis), impaired sexual function; delayed breast development and menarche in females; and delayed regrowth of pubic hair in both genders.
