It was found to be significantly lower in acne vulgaris (71.5 ±21.5μgm/100ml), leprosy(85.9 ± 26.9μgm/100ml) and psoriasis (93.3 ± 25.9μgm/100ml) as compared to healthy controls (105.3 ± 30.1μgm/100ml). No significant correlation was found in other cutaneous disorders studied i.e. vitiligo and aphthous ulcers where serum zinc levels were found to be 97.3 + 26.6 μgm/100ml and 105.2 ± 23.5 μgm/100ml respectively.
