Dry Skin Pictures And Symptoms

What illness is this???

An acquaintance of mine has the following symptoms, she knows what her illness is but won't let me know. (this is not the problem, don't give me comments on the fact that she's keeping it a secret.)

Ignore the cancer suggestion. Heart trouble, dietary issues and a misinterpreted instruction is my diagnosis.

Zinc deficiency or eczema explains the skin problem, and zinc would also cause hair problems by leading to protein deficiency. Check for iron deficiency, which would lead to pale skin and anemia, as well as possibly hair loss http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=62062

Just the vegetarian diet could also explain protein deficiency and hair/skin issues if she hasn't been getting all her amino acids by eating a variety of vegetables.

A medical reason not to eat meat is very, very weird. The only way to explain a total ban on meat is either a very improbable set of food allergies http://www.labspec.co.za/l_meat.htm or she is interpreting her doctor's instructions wrong.

Perhaps she has heart problems on top of everything else, and her doctor told her to avoid foods high in cholesterol like most meats. Make sure that she is interpreting what the doctor said correctly: a nice grilled salmon would probably do her a lot of good nutritionally and the omega-3 oils would help her heart. Get her to take a multivitamin too.

Did any of that sound right?
