Skin Rashes

Vitamin B6 deficiency is one of the causes of seborrheic dermatitis, a red, itchy rash. The rash can occur anywhere on the body, including the scalp, face, neck, and chest. It has a greasy, flaky appearance and can create puffy or white spots on the skin. B6 deficiency can cause skin rashes because it aids in the production of collagen, which is necessary for healthy skin.

In these circumstances, ingesting B6 can aid in the rapid removal of the rash. Some patients with seborrheic dermatitis may require more B6, while others may not. B6-containing face creams may help to alleviate the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis.
