Does Low Potassium Cause Skin Problems?
Potassium and Skin
Step 1
Early signs of chronic potassium deficiency include acne and dry skin, according to Dr. Elson M. Haas, writing for the Periodic Paralysis International website. However, acne and dry skin have a wide range of other causes. You should consult your physician if you suspect that you have a low potassium level, which is usually corrected by increasing your intake of potassium-rich foods, such as bananas, avocados, salmon, lean beef, chard and white beans.
