The client is probably experiencing essential fatty acid deficiency.

<h3>What is fatty acid deficiency?</h3>
  • A global scaly dermatitis made up of thicker, erythematous, and desquamating plaques is brought on by an essential fatty acid deficit.
  • Long-term parenteral nutrition without lipid supplementation, extremely low-fat diets, anorexia nervosa, alcohol use disorder, cystic fibrosis, and nephrotic syndrome are a few factors that might contribute to fat malabsorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Eczema could be an indication of an essential fatty acid shortage in a patient receiving fat-free parenteral nutrition.
  • Vitamin C deficiency symptoms, such as bleeding gums and the destruction of scar tissue, do not cause eczema.
  • Eczema is not a symptom of inadequate protein-energy intake.
  • Phospholipids and sterol are produced by the body, therefore deficiencies don't exist.
