Key features

ย„Deficiencies in macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins, essential trace minerals) can affect any organ system, including the skin, which may provide clues to the diagnosis

ย„Severe acute malnutrition manifests as two classic proteinโ€“energy malnutrition syndromes: kwashiorkor and marasmus

ย„In addition to inadequate oral intake, there are secondary causes of nutritional deficiencies including intestinal malabsorption due to medical conditions, medications, and surgical procedures as well as increased nutritional demand due to severe illnesses (e.g. late-stage metastatic carcinoma, systemic infection)

ย„Vitamin and trace element deficiencies can lead to a wide range of mucocutaneous findings, from follicular keratoses to periorificial erosions to poor wound healing

ย„Obesity can be associated with high-calorie malnutrition and multiple skin changes ranging from acanthosis nigricans to lipodermatosclerosis
