Several vitamins can affect wound healing. The most well known are:
- Vitamin A deficiency
- Interferes with the production of surface layers of skin and causes poor epithelialization.
-
- Vitamin C deficiency (scurvy)
- Prevents wounds from maturing normally and prevents cross linkage in collagen molecules.
-
- Vitamin E
- May inhibit wound healing by decreasing the amount of collagen which is produced.
