Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a disorder of zinc metabolism that occurs in one of two forms: an inborn (congenital) form and an acquired form.
Acrodermatitis enteropathica, caused by a dietary deficiency of zinc, is manifested by eczematous, sometimes vesicular changes in the perioral, perianal, and perigenital skin, as well as hands and feet. Diarrhea and growth retardation are common.
Acrodermatitis enteropathica is due to malabsorption of zinc through the intestinal cells. The precise cause is not known but it may relate to mutations in a gene (SLC39A4) that codes the zinc transporter protein, ZIP4.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica improves when zinc levels are returned to normal.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Acrodermatitis usually disappears on its own without treatment or complication. However, the associated conditions must be watched carefully.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica: Acrodermatitis enteropathica is an inherited condition that occurs when the body is unable to absorb zinc.
In acrodermatitis enteropathica, a rare hereditary disorder, zinc cannot be absorbed. This disorder may result in diarrhea, hair loss, and zinc deficiency.

For example, an inherited disorder of metabolism known as acrodermatitis enteropathica causes skin problems. A chemical called zinc sulfate cures that skin problem. in people with a rare disease called acrodermatitis enteropathica.
A rare, genetic form of acrodermatitis is acrodermatitis enteropathica. In this disorder, zinc is poorly absorbed from the diet. Adding zinc supplements to the diet improves the condition.
Another common condition that can develop is Acrodermatitis Enteropathica, an autosomal recessive disease that is characterized by zinc malabsorption.
People with Crohn's disease, sprue, chronic diarrhea, or babies with acrodermatitis enteropathica also have an increased need for zinc. Consult a health care provider for appropriate supplementation instructions.
