Symptom 6: Slow-Healing Wounds

This is a less common, but still important, sign to be aware of. If you’ve noticed that minor cuts, scrapes, or sores seem to take a very long time to heal, a Vitamin D deficiency could be playing a role. The vitamin is involved in the creation of new skin as part of the healing process.
