Oral zinc appears to help people with this rare inherited condition linked to impaired zinc metabolism. Case reports and small series describe symptom improvement after zinc supplementation, including clearance of skin lesions in at least one related presentation.
Evidence remains limited to observational and small reports rather than large controlled trials. The heatmap and evidence reviews below summarize the available research in more detail.
